You have to lay out what is not acceptable at work. Let everyone know what problems exist and that they need to change or people will be let go. I understand your concern about their families and their need to pay their bills but if they aren't performing their job then that's their fault not yours. From the context of your explanation it sounds like you have a supervisor or manager above you. Talk to that person about the issues you are having and your intent on putting an end to it. Ask them for their support in following through with disciplinary action or firings. The job performance of the people under you reflects on your own ability to manage people and your job is on the line too and you may have a family to support and bills to pay too. Crack down and follow through or nothing will change. Good Luck.

As far as the gossiping.....when you get a bunch of women together that is what they do its like a soap opera...I personally get along much better with men, working, talking with etc. . When you have the meeting, just tell them, that you know they all have families and need their jobs, but they need to do their jobs correctly for all to benefit, and if they continue to not correctly do their jobs, they will have to be let go. So if "they" care about supporting their families they will do what they are supposed to. You don't need to carry that guilt around. I have employees too, I joke around with them and treat them like family, and they really respect me and my husband a lot. But of course they are all men and men are different then women. I would just lay it down to them and let them take the consequences for their own actions. You warned them and you can't take the blame if you have to have them fired. Good Luck.

to lead is to show the way.maybe you lack what it means to be the leader or the boss.show it in your actions,do things first before asking them. work with them as if you aren't the boss. meaning, be with them,mingle with them and don't be bossy.
if you have to do their jobs, go! they'll admire you for that and would be embarrassed that their boss is doing the things they're suppose to do,then they'll follow.

Fire one of them Maybe they need to see you mean business. If they want to provide for their families, they'll do there job. Make an example out of one of them! It's simple. Do it!
