That is stupid pay increase but do I blame him ? Hell no !! Because he was offered a job for that price and we either match it or they leave !!
Not about blame at all for me.......
It's about understanding.......what goes up most time comes down.
The oil business is cyclical for sure......unless you are wanting the "gas surcharge" to go down.......that has not changed. We spend 750K a year in frieght.......not a long putt to figure out that the surcharge pounded us a few years back.
