    You break/cut you buy?

    I actually offer far better pay than most places in my area and a couple bucks an hour better than what I started at? I said the applicants were poor though, not my employees. I've just found that most guys willing to drag brush in Wyoming are not the guys I want on my job site.

    hurt feelings data sheet

    I didn't single out Aussies in the slightest, it's a problem everywhere. The problem is that a misogynistic attitude and worldview promotes sexual assault. I don't give a shit if you think it's funny. As a father, husband , brother and friend I think that bullshit like this is the root of the...

    hurt feelings data sheet

    So we should encourage misogyny in combat troops? No wonder sexual assault is so prevalent in the military.

    hurt feelings data sheet

    The irony here is that I think men are far more emotional and sensitive than women, they just hide it better. I think that we reinforce the stereotype for exactly the reason Royce said, we don't know how to build ourselves up without tearing others down. I know I'm guilty of it more than I'd...

    You break/cut you buy?

    I think the maxim "Hire slow, Fire fast" applies in spades to this debate. One of the hardest things to realize as an employer (at least for me) is that no one will work as hard as you do. They simply don't have the investment in the company that you do. Part of the problem is that our industry...

    You break/cut you buy?

    I completely agree with Frashdog. As a business owner, you are assuming the risk in order to potentially see the greater return. As an employee, all it would take is 1 mistake to quickly lose several days pay (i.e. Dropped saw, $600=4 days pay). It's a tactic commonly used by modern day slavers...

    Licensed Arborist,will it ever happen

    I don't disagree. In fact, that's the reason I gave myself for waiting so long. I finally decided that I could work to change the certification process for the better, or I could bitch and moan. The reality I found once I immersed myself in that world and started going to conferences is that the...

    Licensed Arborist,will it ever happen

    I know I can get all my CEU's and then some by going to 1 conference a year. It's not much of a burden. i have a plethora of CEU's simply by going to events that I would go to anyway. Now, I just sign a sheet and voila, CEU's.

    Who's a self taught climber?

    I think we should be wary of thinking of ourselves s self taught. It's easy to get in over your head with no one to check you. Spend a lot of time on here, buy a lot of books and read them, find any and all clinics you can afford to go to. Familiarize yourself with industry standards and adhere...
