Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
I was talking to a general contractor supervisor the other day, and—
It seems even Collins has been getting a bit lax lately when it comes to the Construction Project Performance Information System! lol (Government agencies too... it's too much of a gray area to write about lol)
The reason is that the shortage of supervisors is accelerating even faster than the shortage of skilled workers.
When there's a lack of supervision, the result is poor performance.
I'm not "unbeatable" anymore—I'm just in a slump, lol.
By the way,
Not feeling wellThis means there are no bidders.
UnconqueredThis refers to a situation where the bid price was higher than the estimated construction cost, resulting in the bid not being awarded.
I’m sure those involved in the bidding process and general contractors understand this well, but we can’t participate in the bidding because we don’t have any engineers.
Construction simply can't happen without a construction supervisor!
Without a supervisor, we can't even participate in the bidding process.
Even though we receive work orders, we can’t bid on them because we don’t have a supervisor, so recently we’ve been receiving inquiries about secondment agreements for our engineers.
In practice, you’ll be seconded from the construction company to the general contractor and become an employee of the general contractor.
In other words, they use that engineer’s name to secure construction contracts more than three months later.
Wouldn't it be a win-win for both sides if the company that sent the employee on secondment were to carry out the contracted construction work?
If the project were large enough, it would probably be good for both sides, but there are all sorts of complications.
The other day, I went to visit my former direct supervisor from my old company in Hakata, Kyushu.
I guess it’s been about 15 years since he rose to the No. 2 spot at a major company, lol.
As a former subordinate, I couldn't be happier, but my boss said the same thing.
The director's a total lost cause! We can't even participate in the bidding!
Lol
The shortage of supervisors is accelerating at a far more staggering pace than the shortage of skilled workers.
Coaches don't develop overnight. If you don't take your time, you'll end up being a half-baked coach.
He is a manager who combines a strict adherence to the rules with a healthy dose of flexibility.
At first, you start out being rigid and thinking, “It has to be done this way or it won’t work!” but as you gain experience, you learn to adapt more flexibly.
Experience really does make all the difference when it comes to mastering that.
It’s likely that the number of directors will continue to decline in the future.
Site supervisors' incomes are on the riseThere's no doubt about that.
However, you will likely need to change jobs a few times.
Or maybe my current company will raise its salary standards?
Companies that fail to value their managers are more likely to see them leave one after another.
Because the world needs on-site supervisors!
Workers seek money, a sense of fulfillment, and a comfortable work environment.
Construction companies that strike that balance are the ones that will survive in the future.
Going forward, I suppose the competition for coaches will become even fiercer than the competition for players.
See you later.
