  2. Employees quit after a few weeks?!?!

    Yeah, seems like you need a restraining order:p
  3. It took me years to figure out....

    So cool! I could watch a sign painter or pinstriper work for hours. The flow of solid color from the brush is mesmerizing!
  4. What would you like to learn more about in the print ind?

    These 4 are on my mind right now: Production Floor: -We're planning on moving our shop in a few months as I have mentioned. Once we do that I'm planning on bringing in a color expert to help us dial in color consistency. That's a big one for us that we can certainly get better at. -Tracking OEE...
  5. Employees quit after a few weeks?!?!

    Some of you are clearly missing the point. Fire the lousy employee. Set clear expectations. Train them well. Treat them with respect. And if they are not meeting those expectations, let them go. No severence. No "Bonus" The offer would be made to an employee that is meeting expectations...
  6. Employees quit after a few weeks?!?!

    I do think these cases would be the exception to the rule, but still important concepts to consider. Also, if someone needs to be fired, fire them. Don't delay. A concept like Zappos implemented helps get rid of people who aren't real happy, but still performing well enough to do the job...
  7. Employees quit after a few weeks?!?!

    Yep. The timing and the amount should probably depend on the pay and the role. Hourly entry level people, or younger folks might take $100 or $200 in a week or two. Managers or skilled technicians might take $2500 in a few months.
  8. Employees quit after a few weeks?!?!

    Offer them $250 to quit after their first week. There's a million bits of management advice you can follow. Clearly defined roles, SOPs, improving morale, etc. All these things are critically important long term. But in the short term, you need to find a team that likes working together...
  9. Packing Floor Decals

    +1 Rolling large graphics is challenging nonmatter who you are. A little tip: If you have a bunch of graphics, don't stack them up and try to roll them all at once. Spread them out over the roll to even things out a bit.

  14. We're (Trying) to buy a new building!

    Well, after leasing our space for the last 13 years, we're finally taking the step to buy our own space! If all goes well, we'll close in December and move in February/March. Current space is segmented 16,500sqft, 30% climate controlled. New space is 21,000sqft 100% climate controlled with one...
  15. Subcontracting Question

    I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt. Being a trade-only wholesale I am inclined to say take this business. Just outline your terms clearly. Both for payment and for what is expected for the installation and the work. There are plenty of people out there that are pretty darn good at...
  16. General Formulations...

    They have done a pretty good job of keeping up with the supply chain issues as well. They are rarely out of anything we push on them for.
  17. Electric paper cutters (guillotines)

    We bought a really inexpensive one off of Amazon a while back. Just for testing a project. We had to mess with it a bit to get it accurate, but it worked fairly well. I think ours is 17" (430mm) wide.
