Any tips on sourcing a strong GC for a townhouse new build project in a geographic area that you don’t have any personal contacts in?

I’ve tried chatting with folks in my area to see if they know anyone in the different region but no luck. Would love any and all ideas

2 options:
- find companies on Angie’s list or a similar aggregator website
- join Facebook groups in that town / neighborhood and search for contractor / handyman requests in the past
- yelp has a great program where you can submit a work request and companies respond to your request. I’ve done this a few times and found good people with a bit of vetting.

Should say 3, not 2. But you get the jist

Join a local mom’s group on Facebook and ask. They are tied into everything in the community and aren’t afraid to make their feelings and opinions known.

I am a contract employee that was just brought on a month ago. I have done well with onboarding and learning their tech. I have now been asked to design an architecture for an upcoming project, and document it all. Nothing at this company has been well documented before. I have a feeling they just planning to use my previous experience and then let me go since my pay is high. Is there a way I can safeguard against this?

Morning everyone!

I’m currently working on employee data set and business wants to figure out the employee shift type based on number of working hour and days worked and categorize into 8*5 (8 hours 5 days) or (10 hours 4 days) a week. But the real challenge is employee hours are varying because of their overtime work and other reasons so it ranges from 0-20 and also employee can start his shift any day in a week.

So any ideas or suggestions on solving this to find shif type accurately?
