I've been afraid to write this story for one reason or another and have put it off years. The problem is as large as an elephant sitting in our living rooms but ignored. We know the elephant is there but we choose to live with it and clean up a mess everyday. The problem is that workers in our industry don't realize how valuable they are and some employers don't always value workers, as they should. When I refer to workers, I'm referring to people in the field who install the products we bid. When I refer to employers, I'm referring to those of us who are considered management. The two groups are normally called "field" and "office."
However, there are many office people who would rather be "served than serve." Office people are in a perfect position to serve people in the field. A servant is simply someone who is "working in the service of another." Serving another person should be considered an honor, as well as a blessing, in disguise.
