NICK AND THE GOLF GUY,
THANK YOU!!!!
Forman for years have goten a bad rep for not straping on the old tool belt.
Speicaly If they are runing two or three jobs.
First off, I dont consider a REAL job two guys for a few days...thats more of a Add/Mod. my min. is two leads for every laborer.
BUT.. if the job needs a forman, then it has to be a LARGE job. 6 to 9 guys for over two weeks or more!!!! I would never dedicate a forman type guy to just one of these jobs.
The guys I call Leads need to be able to get the job done or they are just the hired help!!!
First off, I beleive that you should never bite off more than you can chew!!! That said...
It sound like this guy Mr. T is right at that point! It is the most fustrating and difficult part of a business.
My only advice would be...
If the Pricipals cant manage..get more!!!
in other words get a partner or two...
I firmly beleve that in most trades you have to be a working partner. you cant stay in the office or play golf..
best of luck guy... growing pains are hell
