It was originally published in June 2023.I'll be honest with you.Most of the subs we work with come to us already inside the vicious cycle. Margins getting thinner. Bidding harder. Hiring whoever they can get instead of who they want. Reputation quietly slipping.And the worst part is they don't see it. They think it's just the market. Or just construction. Or just bad luck.It's not. It's a system.
