A different approach to dealership hiring during a pandemic

To the Editor:

Great interview withĀ ShawnĀ Hays. Definitely an energy guy! I love how he has done the opposite of most every dealer and hired more people during this time. Dealers right now are jumping on the bandwagon and saying “we found out we can do more with less.” You know what that is? Restructuring. Balancing the books to show more of a profit by laying people off. More with less is the new phrase for letting the little man on the front lines go to show Wall Street more profits. In the long term, water levels out and dealerships will rehire. I like how ShawnĀ has added to his workforce and it’s already worked out positively.

Thanks,
Michael H.
