Guest Insider Pardon my ignorance. I'm just curious. Couldn't a wildlife conservation come in, or a game warden, gather them and relocate them somewhere safe?

Gerry Hunt However bears live all over my mountains. They are not aggressive, when we learn to live WITH THEM. They are safe here. My residents know to not feed them and leave them also.

My residents come into the office often, especially since the Hurricane. One of them came up with the idea for this board. I love it.

I think EVERYONE in the Corporate Office needs to spend one week every quarter onsite!

Amanda Gunn I love this. Last summer, our maintenance team at one property was drowning. I offered to come walk move-outs for them. It was such a refresher for me. i remembered how painfully long the process was, but I saw how much longer it had become. We were able to take what I learned and start improving the process. It really does help the team collaborate.

Kalyn Schutz Lot’s of great comments here! My contention is that those who have never worked on site should not make decisions for those that do, particularly without site team input - because there is a basic ignorance of site operations in the real world. And for those who have worked onsite and moved onto the freedom of the greener pastures of HQ - don’t forget the reality of what being on site is like and please attempt to bring sanity (and some dignity/trust). Do not turn your heads in forgetful bliss or with disdainful huffs of disbelief when your report was not submitted on time by the CM (like it never happened to you while running the circus…tsk, tsk).

With that, yes, HQ needs to work - in an active role and without assistance - for no less than two weeks. More is better to experience a full monthly or quarterly cycle. Sit in the chair, walk in the shoes, and keep up the pace - same level of expectations and results - with those who live, breathe, and eat daily site ops. This is not to say...

The task of rebuilding after the flood, the wind & the landslides is daunting ~~ we are facing it with determination & hope. Every hand, every heart is coming together to clear the wreckage & rebuild not just structures, but LIVES. Folks are working tirelessly, shoulder to shoulder, with neighbors who before, were just faces & have now become partners in this effort. We are not just clearing the pathways & reconstructing, we are transforming, shaping a future of resilience, love & unity. It's hard work, but it's important work. Folks are choosing to rebuild, to create a city that rises stronger & more united than ever before. Folks are building a future filled with stories of love, caring, community & resilience.To see the destruction in person is so different than seeing pictures.  My emotions are still raw. I have a hard time sleeping. Thank you all for the out pouring of love that you have shown to me. Thank you all for the many donations that you have sent. They are being used, here, on the ground, helping folks. You may donate through paypal or Zelle. My email is ruthie61@hotmail.com

I read a quote somewhere that said ‘Your job might be special and a privilege, but it’s not what makes YOU special’!
Somewhere, over the years, I have realized that it is not healthy to have so much of our self worth tied up in something, like our job, that is essentially a means to an end ~ it is not WHO we are!

Kara Rice Gerry, YES! Or as Toni Morrison put it, in a lesson she learned from her father:
1. Whatever the work is, do it well—not for the boss but for yourself.
2. You make the job; it doesn’t make you.
3. Your real life is with us, your family.
4. You are not the work you do; you are the person you are.

A couple of questions for everyone.
Do you feel that the folks in the Corporate office understand what it is like to be onsite?
Do you feel that the upper management of your company cares about you personally?

Guest Insider I think they forget and sometimes have unreasonable expectations. I do think they care though.

Nothing will destroy a great employee like watching your employer tolerate & reward the bad ones

Guest Insider I completely understand and agree that finding good people is hard! I'm also not saying that if someone is "coachable" that you shouldn't try. BUT you have to know when enough is enough, for the health of the team as a whole. I'm not on board with the whole "the super stars are noted but the "C's" require more emotional support and attention."

Random question ~~ when remodeling a kitchen with new counters and sink, would you remove a working disposal? I mean, take it out and not replace it.

Wendy Burkle  The residents do use them though! All homes have one, multifamily is really no different. It's helpful and cuts down clogged drains.
