Stay away from the light Well it's Friday and we have a three day weekend coming up. Work has been the normal zoo today but I am used to that. I own a contracting company and we do work for very large corporations. There are some truisms that I have learned over the years that I will share here. 1. The customer is the enemy. They will promise you the world to get their work done, then forget their promises. Moral make them sign before the work begins 2. Vendors never keep their schedules. Always allow extra time since the products will not be here on time anyway. Moral never box yourself in a corner. 3. Workers will do what is inspected of them almost never what is expected of them. Keep an eye on your employees or you will pay a lot more in payroll than you need to. Moral repect your employees but make sure they know what is expected then inspect them to make sure they got it done correctly and on time. 4. Adults are babies too. Time after time I have sworn that the business should be called Quality Adult Day Care. It is amazing how childlike some adults can be. Moral just because you are in the grown up world, don't expect all adults to act like adults all the time. There now if there are some new management employees or new business owners out there maybe this will stop some gray hairs lol. You all have a wonderful weekend, I have a wedding to perform and a golf tournement to play in so mine will be good. Thank you to those who stop in here and offer words of wisdom. Keep coming back and I will try to make it interesting. |

A) Feedback to yr comment. Happy weekend. Thank u fr drawing me the line - Dance like you never have tomorrow. Sounds nice. Usually the dance highlight is after 2:00am, esp. African dance party, then dawn(the next day) comes and people don't wanna go away. So keep feel in the dark night and feel on today. No tomorrow. My comments to yr post. You hv some wisdom and humor in it. What you write down is 99% true. Tactics? ...
