And your question or informational point is?:?
does every post require a question or informational point? But if you must have one or the other I will expand upon the post, it has been many months of struggle just to maintain 40 hours for everyone. The down economy being a major factor. Even though last year was slightly better we are doing much better and at an earlier point in the year.
Are first quarter numbers were dragged down by a very sluggish January but with the early upturn in sales volume that is now requiring to work the crews more than 40 hours should produce a signifigant boost in our second quarter numbers.
On a secondary note I reminded the crew that the nature of the beast is feast or famine and it would be a good idea to store some acorns for the winter.
In business you have good overtime and bad overtime , this is good overtime.
