Haphazard management practices tend to come back and bite us in the behind.
Question: I have a great young guy that works for me. He really has been able to ensure my company gets the jobs done on time and right. He works hard and I am paying him very well. I have several concerns about how things are going to work out long term, however. He makes $70,000 now and wants more (that’s about $20,000 above local wages for the same position). He also does a lot of work on the side. Any thoughts on what I should do?
