In his subject line was “job of slave labor”. What he said was, “Take your mandatory 50+ and 6 day work week, and stick a tool in it.”</p> <p>I’ve opened comments on this post because I’d really like to hear what you think. Either send me an email or post your opinion directly.</p> </article> <article> <h1>Comment on Wayne’s Your Plumber! by Kim</h1> <p>Kim — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 17:10:19 +0000</p> <p>Wayne came to us in the dead of winter looking for plumbing work. After meeting with Wayne, I knew he was someone who was looking to stay at one place and grow. Unfortunately we didn’t have any plumbing jobs to offer but I might have some deconstruction “..just to keep you busy while I search for you.” His reply, ” I need the work.” So off he went. I let<em> [our client]</em> know that he is more than a labor, he has background in plumbing & electrical. They wanted to try him out and haven’t regretted. I have been told, he is the “Go to” guy, one they “bounce & fight over” who gets him. He goes out of his way, steps up to the plate and handles not only demo, but electrical for them as well. Not surprising they took him on permanent and keep him very busy. </p> <p>Great Job Wayne!</p> </article> <article> <h1>Comment on CPG Employee of the Week – Chris Baker by Roofer</h1> <p>Roofer — Thu, 13 May 2010 23:14:36 +0000</p> <p>Hey nice blog and nice post, I like it.

Umlas — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 02:58:11 +0000</p> <p>You are so right about the power of acknowledgment. You may be a bit surprised to know that I wrote a book of that title, The Power of Acknowledgment (www.iil.com/poa) and in it are the 7 Principles of Acknowledgment. I have also trained over 10,000 people in the use of this skill and it is truly awesome to see how quickly and easily they get it! The results are astounding as well. Please visit my blog; <a href="http://www.thepowerofacknowledgment.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.thepowerofacknowledgment.com</a> and join me in any of my free one hour webinars on this topic: <a href="http://www.iil.com/webinars" rel="nofollow">http://www.iil.com/webinars</a>.</p> <p>I am very excited that you recognize the importance of authenticity in acknowledgments as well. Many people don’t get this and end up giving acknowledgments a bad name! Thanks for letting your readers know about this incredibly transformational tool and topic.

I know I am often guilty of focusing so hard on steering the ship that I forget to acknowledge my crew. Each of them is vitally important. To illustrate it all I have to do is consider the inconvenience when any one person takes a work day off.</p> </article> <article> <h1>Comment on Roofing Sales by michael j ziolo</h1> <p>michael j ziolo — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 10:17:57 +0000</p> <p>I’ve been roofing for 26 years i have my own company now just wanted to know what starting pay is for sales position.</p> </article> <article> <h1>Comment on Calculating Labor Burden by johnk</h1> <p>johnk — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 21:34:06 +0000</p> <p>I realized that I forgot the state reemployment fund and also the federal unemployment.
