With the H2B staff not returning this year, I looked elsewhere for labor. This goes to show you the state of the unemployment population in the area: I hired 4 new people last Friday. All four were to start Monday. Of the 4, 3 of them elected not to show up. 1 did show up but after 1 day of work, elected not to come back. He simply did not return on Tuesday, no call or text. Greens will be our priority as we work our way through this. I have a number of feelers out there looking for people that might want to work.
It certainly gives us a new appreciation for the human resource aspect of the business. Without a solid team in place, its near impossible to move forward. While the core group remains unchanged, it is also hard on those guys who are having to pick up the slack that comes with having new people here on a daily basis.
