For as long as I can remember I’ve been hearing the same heartfelt complaints from contractors. “We can’t find good people! No one wants to work these days. I can’t get workers and subs to show up on time, stay sober and keep working.” The people telling me these stories are all earnest and they back up their claims with real life examples of under-achieving people doing bad work and costing them money. These owners certainly have trouble, but there are also things about this story that don’t add up.
