Re: Offering My Help
Wish we would have know your situation earlier.
We were hiring for 4 years straight.
We got in a hole while trying to expand several departments, and couldn't get people hired and trained fast enough.
Could have just about guaranteed getting a paycheck. And if you were here by Jan 1st, you would be hired on full time by now, $12.70 to start, full benefits, wages to $16 an hour, $18 for crew leaders, or $19 to start in the maint shop, up to $29 an hour.
Company stopped hiring April first, as orders have dropped off. And most of us are down to 40 hours a week.
Last year we trained 600 people to retain 100.
In 2008, we trained 900 people to retain 100.
We have finally balanced our work load to labor.
I wish I would have sold my house a year ago, then I would have you helping on a new yard, shed, and......
Keep pounding the small to medium shops, 25 to 75 employees, they should rebound first.
