Don't Be Fooled By Your Job Cost Reports
Many construction companies utilized their own equipment in the execution of their contracts. They’ve made a determination that there is sufficient potential utilization that ownership is better than renting for a job for various economic and efficiency reasons. They use the market rental rate or an internally determined rental rate within their bids. Once the job commences, many contractors do not account within their job costing for this equipment. The effect is to overstate profit during the ongoing job review or at the end of the job, since costs within the bid are not considered on the job cost. Thus, the contractor can overrun labor hours and cost, overrun materials or subcontracted costs, and this is offset by the zero equipment cost posted.The same situation occurs when a com

Differences In Work Ethic Between Russians And Americans
Lynn Visson's "Wedded Strangers" identifies differences in work ethic between Russians and Americans:“Americans, with a work ethic, grew up knowing they would have to work hard to get a job. For Russians, under the Soviet system, the government found them a job or they got a job through personal contacts.”“Under the Soviet system, the idea was to get away with as little work as possible, as there were no pay raises. There was no real threat of getting fired either. Working hard just led to more work.”“For women in the Soviet Union, the workplace was a place to gossip, sell each other clothes, and exchange tips on where to get consumer goods.”“To Russians, Americans are time obsessed. To Americans, time is money. To Russians, relationships are more important than

Selling Is A Lot Like Farming
It was a time in my life when I was just changing gears in my sales career. Although I had been in sales for a few years, I was going into a completely new industry. I had no product knowledge and was apprehensive about my future success. It was a small company, with three other salesmen and they offered very little training. It was basically sink or swim.One of my most vivid memories was that everyday I would hear the sales manager ask the salesmen what they had sold that day. The sales process for product that we sold had an average gestation period of about two months, so typically the reply from the salesman would invariably be that they hadn't sold anything that day.
