Another issue to really give some thought too.
You just lost your key guy. Is a 'temporary' worker going to replace them?
I think this issue has been brought up, but I'm seeing it more and more in this industry.
We are hiring all this 'temp' labor and after a few years, what are you left with? Nothing.
The biggest problem I see with this idea is you are never building a 'real' company. This business is dependent on young, inexperienced workers starting at the bottom, working their way up, learning the way the company works, and moving up into more and more skilled positions.
If you don't have people constantly being trained, who replaces 'you' in the company. No one. It all makes me disgusted because I've seen large companies with No real leadership on any of their crews. Just a bunched of skilled laborers with no ability to advance.
And if you aren't going to get your skilled people out of your own labor force, where are they going to come from? No where.
We are running out of 'skilled' people in this industry, and perhaps its are own fault. I would definitely think about the decision to hire this sort of workforce. It seems like you may become dependent on them, and the second you do, they take off, and leave you with nothing.
On the other hand, where to get skilled people is a question I'd like to have answered myself. This is becoming a big problem for me. I just can't find anyone out there.
