TalkBack: On workers' ethics, expectations
Rural Builder invites its readers and Web site visitors to sound off some work-related issues.
Do you think people in 2008 work harder, not as hard or about the same as they did in the "old days?" Do workers have a different view of their obligations to their employers now than in the past? Do employees expect different things from their jobs and bosses than they did in the past?
Sound off by sending your thoughts to Renee DuFore Russell, editor. Please give your name and city location, but we'll keep that part confidential if you ask. But please tells us whether you are an employee or an employer, please. We'll run the best comments in a future Builder Express newsletter and on the web site.

March
2008
 Who is building livestock barns these days? Lots of rural builders are, representing large, small and in-between companies. And what (who?) is living in those barns? Everything from alpacas to turkeys, as well as horses and dairy cows. This month's cover story takes a look at those rural havens for all sorts of critters.
In addition, we focus on one of the keys to a successful business: good employees. Some well-known builders talk about where they find their people, how they keep them and how they treat them.
This month's bonus feature brings three articles from the Spring Gutter Opportunties supplement to Rural Builder magazine. Be sure to read about the virtues of seamess vs. sectional gutters, how to pack your truck and tackling large commercial jobs.
Plus, you'll find the usual features that you've come to expect in Rural Builder magazine: stories about building with metal, a focus on horse barns, what's new in the industry, and plenty more.
