Hi Ryan, you handled Eric"s termination with a lot of class I must say. It has been evident for a long time that he had one foot out the door.

As a contractor myself for some 40 years, I've had the same experiences that you have had so I know all to well how you feel when the trust factor is broken. The new building is really shaping up and you guys are doing a fantastic job with it. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family and the whole Victory crew. Amen

[@heatherd.9390]

I agree with you 100%, Scot. Aside from the obvious, the unfortunate thing for Eric if he does go out on his own is that he doesn't know everything he needs to know, in my opinion. There will come that one job (or many) that he's going to either mess up, or not know what to do. If he'd left things better with Ryan, he likely could pick up the phone and ask him for advice. Heck, we all know Ryan would likely still give it to him if he asked, but I would think that Eric would hesitate to make that call now. I saw on a recent video of Eric's (I don't follow his channel but checked it out last week [it was maybe a 'Live" video] when we learned he was on a week off without pay) that he says he has a lot of respect and is grateful to Ryan so at least he's showing some respect now.

Out of the crew that he currently has one of them which I'm thinking either Marcel or Francisco would be excellent to learn everything there is to do so that they can be that person that Ryan counts on. Instead of Ryan asking them to do something that one person make sure everything's done properly things are put away properly at the end of the day cleaned up properly and takes the initiative to get things done without having to be told what to do. That would be huge for Ryan.

[@luisargoth]

That's the problem the whole time ryan does not do that

[@Ea2ky90]

He needs to just hire a foreman to do that for him so he doesn't have to worry when he leaves the job sites about what won't get done

[@Thelongs760]

What most people don’t realize is that when Eric and even Ray miss so much work it makes the crew work 10x as hard. Concrete is a job that requires a good team to be able to flow and knock jobs out when people miss work so much it requires someone else to carry the weight and it’s unfair to the crew to continue to have to do so when you can just bring a new guy in. Not to mention resentment builds up within the crew

Hey Ryan When I worked construction I went to the bathroom after work every day #2 some jobs didn't have bathrooms. I did steel work up 2 to 4 stories height When the crane sending beams you don't have time for a bathroom break You give the guys a lot of leeway, you're a good boss. I also had a company doing roofing guys would come on the roof without a tool belt. I said how are you going to work without your tools. I need my tools to work. lol I don't blame you about guys missing time you count on the manpower and you're paying sick time I never got sick time pay. Marcel seems like a good worker I know your season almost over.
