The work was never the problem — the paperwork was. Payroll turned into a scavenger hunt. To figure out how many hours each tech had worked, Steve had to pull up the schedule, cross-check it against the week's work activity, and do Excel gymnastics just to get his crew paid. The platform he was using kept those things in separate corners, so nothing connected. He'd had enough.
