keeping staff happy is hard

It would be cool as an option where you could create a schedule for the days that your restaurant is open and who works when. Same thing for retail shops. That way, you don't over-work them AND when visiting the lot with another sim, it could be closed.

Yeah neither do mine, all of the hired staff are maxed out on skills and are on the highest wage and still are on neutral. Has anyone tested building a higher relationship level with them to see if it goes past neutral?

Tried praising them? I have them on neutral as well, some on unsatisfied and I do all I can to make them happy, doesn't seem to work =/

I can't seem to interact with my staff :( I can socialise with them (i.e. friendly cues, mean cues etc) but in terms of training them, praising them etc, all i see is the bubble but the bubble is blank. I can click on the bubble but i don't know what interaction i am choosing so i could pick one at random and essential fire them. Does anybody know how to help me? I don't alter the game in anyway apart from using cheats such as "motherlode" and "cheats testing true".

PLEASE HELP!

I was thinking of going out to another restaurant, inviting the staff members & maybe building up friendly relationships that way. That would work right? (just an idea...not tried yet)

what i did is i dont often improve their wage..only when they're unsatisfied, in that way they work more efficiently, i bet that's the way our society really is..

actually is there a cheat code for them??????

Mine are nearly always on nuetral and I've had one quit but you know, you're working in a restaurant serving sims- lol. I figure I'm doing well. When my server quit the place was swamped and he had just had a "guest" pee himself. The server mopped up, said he had had enough of the place and stormed out AND he was my boyfriend at that! But I can't blame him. If I was dating the boss and just mopped up pee in the middle of crowded restaurant I'd quit too! LOL! I think it's more realistic to have stuff like that happen as well. Nobody works somewhere forever and people do stuff you can't believe while out in the public.

what about higher tips? there is a reward that customers leave higher tips. This might increase happiness

I've been fortunate as so far my wait staff will take a quick break and go to the bathroom, however I made them muffins and they never eat at work, the customers enjoyed the extra snacks instead. I find the only way to keep staff happy is to praise them and not have the restaurant open too long.
