That's a creative solution to the problem Tom. I've always thought it would be great to get $10,000 per hour & just work a few hours a year.
I've always thought that it would be great to have 4 or 5 techs with a part-timer. You keep the techs working full-time and the part-timer's schedule fluctuates with the extra. It gets slow & the part-timer stays home. It gets busy & the part-timer works overtime.
Unfortunately, I think the reality is that when it gets slow you have trouble making payroll & you're tempted to low-bid to keep the techs busy, which creates a downward spiral.
I have my budget figured very well, and the business is growing steadily, so I guess I'll relax about the invoiced hours. I'm having a super first quarter & if it keeps up this way the invoiced hours will be over 1500 hours.
