Mike Andes on why lawn care workers quit. Employees ghost monthly, the work is physically brutal, and pay isn't even the top reason they leave. He's rethinking how to keep people.
Well, it happened again. Ghosted by an employee. I mean, it averages once a month, once a month that an employee will quit. And this is not just in Mooresville. This is kind of lawn care wide. It doesn't matter. Like, pay is not the determining factor. So all you YouTube wonderland people that say, oh, you pay your guys a livable wage and no, that's not how this works. Indeed. Did a survey that pay was like fourth or fifth on the consideration. Right. So it's not pay. We work like in all guys know out there though that lawn care is hard work. We work for a living. Lawn care is tough. It is a tough, physically demanding job and some people just don't work out. Now we'll go back to the drawing board. He's 45 minutes late. No calls, no text messages, nothing. Right. So.
