[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 5307385, member: 22662"] I think what you’re missing is that the fires are already raging. Here’s a scenario for you. You’re a district manager with three buildings already taking as much contingency work as you can send to them. A fourth building is on the verge after one contractor walked and three more are on the verge. Contractors have been bitching for months about inadequate compensation and then to top it all off, the company announces a 53% dividend increase to stockholders. So figure it out bacha. What do you do? Where do you find the contingency drivers? You've seen all the businesses for sale for dirt cheap. You have o businesses that you’ve had to pay contingency for over a year and nobody wants the contract. Contractors can’t sell and you can’t give them away. Do you play tough and pretend that contractors are stuck? They have too much debt and can’t afford to leave? And when that angry contractor disregards the non disclosure clause of the contract? Do you terminate the contract with him? Do you have any idea how you’re going to fill that contract? No. Of course you don’t. You don’t have an answer. The one thing you do know for a fact is that this time it’s not a bluff. You’ve checked with legal. You’ve checked with accounting. You’ve had the tax laws explained to you. Figure it out bacha. Peak is just around the corner. You’re right. That 17% was nothing. What that 17% was indicative of is massive. It is exactly the conditions to bring about fundamental change. [/QUOTE]
