Episode Title: Absenteeism Mitigation: Enforcing Strict Attendance Protocols and Objective Accountability (Episode 100) 

Episode Description: "You caused this territory-wide disruption because you treated labor borrowing as a simple quick fix, allowing a weak manager to completely avoid enforcing the attendance policy while simultaneously burning out the best employees at your other locations." In this episode of Drive, Mike Hernandez explains why District Managers must stop acting as a rescue service and aggressively audit labor borrowing to force Store Managers to deal with their absentee problems.

What You Will Learn:

• Mike's Professional Background: Why constantly sending borrowed employees to cover call-outs actively enables poor management and punishes your most reliable stores.
• The False Savior Syndrome: How to completely cut off the easy escape route and force Store Managers to feel the operational pain of their own failure to enforce attendance.
• The Labor Borrowing Audit: The exact procedure for tracking payroll transfer hours to expose which locations are hiding a toxic attendance culture.
• The Termination Mandate: Why you must force a weak Store Manager to issue final written warnings and terminate chronic absentees rather than relying on the rest of the district to carry their dead weight.
