The silent struggle in family-run fencing businesses over fair pay.

Paying family fairly either motivates them or sparks crew jealousy.

That Ohio fence company case study showed this exact problem.

Yeah, that Ohio fence company story is a perfect example of a bigger trend. I see it all the time with home services. Book a painter and they show up late with the wrong color. Schedule a plumber and they forget half the tools. It's like there's a total disconnect between promise and delivery. Makes you wonder how anything gets done right.

Ugh, @thomas.lucas, you hit the nail on the head. Last month, I hired a landscaper who promised to trim the bushes but ended up cutting down a small tree (no joke). And don't get me started on electricians showing up without the right parts. It's like they don't even check the job details before coming over. Makes you want to do everything yourself, even though that's not always possible. So frustrating when basic stuff gets messed up like that.
