Site Supervisor was a liar and told lies to upper management due to having different political views. Management didn't have the backbone to stand up for the companies personnel. Someone that worked 60-80 a week that worked everytime the company needed them to be cut down to 29 hours because lack of other job sites was wrong.

Pros and Cons
Opportunity to move to amuch better company with a 10000 a year pay raise.
