  7. I can attest, some my very best workers were South Americans. Haitians were great too. My older Americans also had a great work ethic. Lost some how here by many over the years. I don’t understand why though.
  8. Problem is trough moved over us and deep layered shear is mega
  9. 10 years ago. I would have gone up there and done it.
  10. Keeping your service customers is key to surviving the down times, he is very cognizant of that. Service is not lucrative but it’s important as a safeguard if new construction drops
  11. My son in law own a very large million dollar a year plus in accounts plumbing business, is facing the same problem with suppliers but luckily has a good workforce and people looking for work applying. Carpenters, electricians are in very short supply
  12. Not to mention all these places that went part time with no Benny's like sick, vacation, leave, insurance. Wholesale changes started in 2008 and have gotten worse for the people without skills or education. I highly encouraged all my kids to either get a college degree or get into an apprenticeship. Still extremely hard for the younger ones. But sometimes you have to work at shit jobs until you gain the skills.
  13. Lol man I can relate, my first 11 years of full time employment were at a machinist assembly plant. However the pay and benefits were outstanding, we were unionized so maybe that's why. However out of the 600 people who worked there approximately 350 developed some sort of cancer. No way to recoup as a German company bought the business and beat feet and destroyed all records. Tri chlorethene was what we washed the grease off of us, also Cadium plating. I know everyone who got cancer as I was Chief Union Steward and had relationships with them. Personally 6 of my friends who worked there got cancer, 3 died. I guess I am a ticking time bomb. Times were different then with chemical handling PPE. Sucks
  14. I employed about 170 people when I was facility director over the years. My long term employees were all over 35, my constant position changes were filled with 20 to 25 year olds. I often hired people who had previous records and many issues. I was always trying to give people second chances. Granted the jobs were not glorious but with hard work, overtime and event tips they could make 45 to 50 k a year with good benefits. The turnover was great and a big problem trying to get employees. After things fell apart at work prior to my layoff it got incredibly hard to find employees. The incentive wasn't there and I didn't blame anyone for not wanting to work at a place part time with no benefits at crappy 15 dollar an hour rates, but prior to that I was disappointed in the young ones.
