I'll also say that we are having an extremely tough time finding warehouse

personnel. We pay better than anyone else around for that position, but we still have a couple of spots we can't keep filled. I think these folks tend to be transient, so they'll move on quickly after a "rough day". Heck, I'm probably less than 50% on people showing up for interviews the past month or so. I do agree that you need to pay better, but we're already doing that. Not much I dislike more about work.

bigbadbird • 12/05/23 07:52 PM ET
But if you have enough custodians, then they won’t need to work OT.
GSOHokie01 • 12/05/23 08:16 PM ET
I deal with schools on the custodial side, and the pool to choose from

finding people who will do work is difficult**
bigbadbird • 12/05/23 09:56 PM ET
You have to pay them.

Easier said than done
Beerman • 12/05/23 09:33 PM ET
It’s not that difficult.
