Signarama Jockey, Guy running the business also needs to be careful to not get themselves overextended. The past few years we're an anomaly and from my seat things look to be slowing down. If your labor gets to be too much for a lowered volume then you have to cut hours and heads which isn't...

straight to the dumpster

This pays dividends!

Everything went up so fast over the last couple of years that I feel as if the performance based metrics we're almost thrown out the window and raises became a matter of upping everyone to keep pace with the market so they wouldn't quit. It makes it a bit more tricky now that things have sort...

Not it wasn't, it was 3.4% for 2023. https://www.investopedia.com/inflation-rate-by-year-7253832

I'd be worried about a wall with no laminate, especially in somewhere like a hospital or school that gets cleaned all the time.

It's similar here but it seems like this year will be soft compared to last. I always talk to our employees, make sure they're doing ok outside of work, see if they need anything and make sure the group is all getting along. The good ones will quietly leave if things are out of wack so you...

Retail and fast food could pay $30/hr and still have a hard time finding employees. Schedule is never the same week to week, sporadic hours, few full time positions and O/T is pretty much out of the question. Plus the job sucks. $15/hr is pretty much the current markets minimum wage. The...

True but unfortunately I think the shitty employees rarely come to this realization on their own or have the ability to process subtle messages. So general consensus is $1-2/hr is the current expectation for a good employee? $20/hr would be 5-10% which puts them a smidgen above the rate of...

Does anyone have any insight into what they would consider a fair amount vs an insulting amount for an hourly shop employee raise? I don't feel like the old 25-50/cents an hour bump is enough anymore but I also need room for the future without pricing myself out.

Exactly, so hurry up and get that stuff printed, they need it today.

As long as they're still around, I'd buy a JV300. Easy transition, fairly bulletproof and it's not locked up to where you're stuck waiting on the mfg to send out their fix it crew.

Sure but that's a bit conflated. They don't care if you're happy unless it benefits them, which it does. It's not done out of the goodness of their heart and if it did not lead to an increase in the bottom line, they would not do it. They want you happy within their work environment with...

It's a fad that will fade away. Cars today don't have old lacquer paint jobs that need constant waxing or coatings to keep them shiny. Clearcoat on modern cars doesnt need all this, that was part of the beauty of the 2 stage process when manufacturers first moved to it. For what PPF film...

I never noticed a difference using different blade angles in regular day to day cutting. Maybe it's more pronounced on really thick material like sandblast mask or motox vinyl/laminate?

are you trying to convince me to hire you?

nope but texassignmaker is. He's like a miniture unicorn but same idea

I hope you realize that they do this for the benefit of the company, not the employee. The clue to that is in your own statement - increase productivity. How do you manipulate a person to get what you need from them is the root of life in business. Manipulation may be a bad word but its the...

I understand how things wear out, you don't need to explain it. Stress and burnout is a relative term, you seem to have a low threshold which gives you a myopic view of this whole idea that we are discussing. There are people that are exactly the opposite of what you described that you can not...

I mash the gas and if the car can't handle it I go buy one that can. There are plenty out there
