I just witnessed 5 mehiconos fully install a new roof on a tall, hard-pitched two-story house on Sunday morning in 4 hours flat.  
 

The white boss stood on the ground watching the whole time.  The most strenuous job he did was drive the van that day.  This is where we’ve gotten to now, and it ain’t gonna change.

I have been trying to fill 4 roles for the past 6mo + and no one who is an American even applies.  High level technical roles.  Tons of Indians and Chinese apply, but I also need someone who is able to speak to people and would much prefer to hire a local.

I am hiring way above that category though.  $150k + jobs shouldn't be that hard to fill

Speaking for myself since I retired got asked to come back as a contractor 4 times and turned it down each time.  The current level of management feel having meetings and sending email and text chains out actually gets something done and resolve problems.  They are wrong.  You need to talk to people one on one and physically look at the problems and hold people accountable.

I liked my job but hated the current method/environment of management.  That was the main reason I retired and the reason I wouldn't go back as a contractor.

I don’t see a lot of movement in that area, unless whole sale changes are occurring.  I’m one willing to “ride out” what I have at the moment.  It would take quite the bump to make me even consider looking right now.  I know one person who has been adventurous in the last 4-5 years and I think they’ve had 6 jobs in that time frame.

With this current 5-7 year conversion project I’m on, I certainly can see what you mean.  And when this carrot they’ve put out in front of me comes to fruition, retiring and coming back as a part time contractor will certainly be an option.  Am I going to be willing to do that?  Time will tell.  We have one guy who retired and contracting now, and he ducks out on meetings all the time, so he can get what they want done. That would be a cool option for a while, not during snowmobile season!

Towards the the end before retiring if I felt it was a waste of my time I would stop the meeting to ask the If I was needed for the remained of the meeting.  If not I would leave to go get something done.  When I would call a meeting which was not that often I would have everybody turn their phone to silent and ask if they would wait until after the meeting to read any text messages.  If somebody was on their phone during the meeting I would stop the meeting until they were done.
