So here's my question for THE SHOPS with finding and keeping TALENTED people....

Brizio has guys that have been with him for 20+ YEARS. What's his secret? IDK - but I'd guess that it's a combination of things... a good living wage / insurance / steady work / nice warm dry place to work that is well lit / fun customers and projects / great personality to work with and for / proper shop tools... no drama queens... PRIDE in working there etc.

Now -- I know how I am -- and doing something a few times over and over makes it so much easier and less stressful. So maybe it's also that they mostly build similar projects which makes life easier. I'm not saying any or all of these ARE the reason - I'm just tossing it out there for discussion. They also have so much work that is steady - that guys get to "specialize" which also makes life nicer? They don't have to be installing a rear end in the morning and then asked to do a full wiring job in the afternoon. The wiring guy gets to wire... the mechanical guy gets to do mechanical... the sheet metal guy isn't asked to suddenly be a bondo spreader.
