Each of the manufacturers tell me the exact same thing... can't find enough help so they need to extend lead times and narrow their offerings.
The secret to every company at this time is to be selective as to your customers. Some customers will be with you for decades, for others it is just a simple singular transaction. Depending on what your company is about is how you have to resolve the choice.
Where more money used to ''buy'' us employees, that pattern no longer seems to hold true. Employees seem to be seeking something other than money... and managers have to find that.

You have no idea what I do for a living all my background I’m involved in many different industries from real estate to medical to manufacturing to construction. Additionally service industry clients and the only clients I have that are experiencing labor issues are the service industries. So again I respectfully disagree with you
