Hiring good fabricators

[carpenterznailum2003]

We recently decided we are going to get what you pay for ,by paying great money for our new crew of fabricators it has made a world of deference.We have always paid little money for our fabricators and being the production manager has done nothing but given me and the customers and big fat call backs head echs etc. im so happy to finally see that there are guys out there like me that take pride in there work and produce Quality kitchens.

The test for an employee should be if he got the owner's daughter pregnant, does he have a job with a future? Does he have a job that pays enough to support a young family including health insurance? If the owner answers "no" to the test question, he has nothing to complain about.

I deleted JOE (Kowboys) last post because all he is doing is trying to do is start more BS. So that is why it is gone.

back on topic.... it is true that you will attract better craftsman with better pay but by no means a 100% guarantee so don't let your guard down. My suggestion is to hire them on a starting pay with a guarantee of a pay hike depending on there actual skill level and or willingness to get the $$$hit done.

example with unrealistic #'s because we are in the open forum. When you hire a supposed skilled fabricator start them at say $2 an hour with a guaranteed pay hike to say $3 an hour in 60-90 days if he can prove he is worth it after the 60-90 days have a review with him and give him the bump or not depending on his performance. Truth be told i would be skeptical of any one up for hire that would appose this. Any good fabricator would be more than willing to prove his worth.

Dustin:

Let me get this straight. You allow ad hominem attack posts which contribute nothing to the thread, yet you delete the posts which call out the ad hominem attacks?

Oh, yeah. I get it. The rules are different for me.

You do nothing but agitate... Go away !

Go cry about it on other forums!

Thanks Dustin!!

Joe's last post deleted because it was not in the subject of the original author. His response about the pregnancy is borderline (at best) and bad advice, imo. Debates are in the water cooler.
