  • Pushing the boulder up the hill

    The Hot Seat is a burden disguised as a promotion. Some shops call it Director of Field Force. Others, Superintendent. Regardless of the name, it’s a tough job. How long can you ride the lightning before burning out?

    It doesn’t have to be this way. Becoming the company firefighter isn't something you'll just have to accept because, well, construction is hard. Hopping from job site to job site to job site fixing labor problems doesn't have to be the norm.

    "A little fire prevention helps. The fires aren't roaring up everywhere you look because you're doing a better job managing. That alleviates the burden on that individual quite a bit." – Gary Fuchs

    A Workforce Management platform can help prevent losing your most experienced employees to extreme stress. This week, Brian Witt and Gary Fuchs offer their insights on one of the most exhausting jobs for a contractor.
