Should people who can't do basic math be fired or at least moved to a position that doesn't require them to be able to count? I work with two people in their early 20s, who struggle to make change. The register tells us how much change to give the customers, but they often have to use the calculator to count the change as they make it.

As a manager, I would first proceed with coaching and teaching. If there’s no improvement or willingness to learn, I would re-assign them if possible. If there’s no possibility of re-assigning, it can be seen as a performance issue ultimately resulting in termination. It depends on the manager and business needs overall. To be honest though, if they applied for a cashier role, they should expect that properly counting change is an essential job requirement. These are criteria’s the hiring manager should’ve been assessing for in the first place.

if they applied for cashier and they dont know how to give out change despite the Till has shown them how much change they should give then sorry to say but yes, cause nobody is looking for someone who cant do what they signed up for

I think you should be given a chance! If your on a till it usually does it for you!

I’d coach them to see improvement. If I don’t, I’d reassign. If they cannot perform an essential function of the job, that is enough to terminate. However, I’m a bit more understanding, so I’d try to accommodate them in another position

They could also have underlying disabilities. I would proceed with caution and perhaps teach them. Keep in mind that cash really hasn't been used by most people the last decade, if they're in their 20's, they would have been in high school when debit cards really took over.

I left my job about a year ago to relocate, make sure it was the right decision and start a side business in the mean time. Now I’m actively looking for a new sales position, have tons of experience, but am struggling to even get a response from job apps. I am wondering if this is because of my employment gap? I don’t have my side business listed on my resume because I don’t feel like I have enough positive “stats” to report yet given it’s new. Any advice or recommendations?

Facebook Ads after iOS 14 changes.

I'll share my experience and urge you to share yours:

Since iOS 14 changes, Facebook ads isn't the same anymore. Why?

A. >75% iOS users denied tracking. They are no longer tracked across websites/apps. Facebook lost its edge.
B. Targeting and conversion tracking aren't as effective anymore.
C. Many advertisers have been migrating their budgets from Facebook to Apple and Amazon ads.

What's your experience? Let's all learn.
