In my experience bad employees are unfixable.
I have never fired someone and said “gee, maybe I should have given them
another chance”
It is always “why in the hell didn’t I do that months ago”.
And I have had 100s of employees.

Quantify their deficiencies.
If you find the same thing done wrong over and over, councel them on the
topic. Maybe they are doing it how they thought it was supposed to be done,
maybe not.
If the list is large and diverse, have a sit down with them. List the issues
you have in a calm and collected way, and the number of times you found those
issues. See how they react.
It might be they are having issues at home that are carrying over into their
thoughts at work. It could be that they think they are doing better than they
are, and need a reality check.
In the end if you want people to respect you, respect them. Hold them
accountable for their failures and encourage them when they succeed. You are
part of their development and success for this industry and for your business.
I'm sure many here on this list would disagree... Yeah well, that's just
like, their opinion, man.
I wouldn't want to work with them or for them anyway :)

How do you deal with employees that seem to always be complaining about
some aspect of their job, and always have an excuse for why something was done
wrong? They think they are dedicated, claim they want to be dedicated, but
repeatedly fail to produce, create work for others, fail to perform even the
simplest of tasks properly and while, when met with, will say they understand
and are working to improve - fail to improve.
Is this behavior fixable? Thoughts?
