If you put the work in, then you get something out of it. That’s the joy of working for a merit shop. You know, in a merit shop, you’re fully on your own merit. That’s how you get judged, that’s how you get paid. Since the time I’ve been here at Barts Electric, I’ve never asked for a raise. Every time I get called into a meeting, I just tell Jason or Russ, whoever’s talking to me about it, just pay me what you think I’m worth. And I’m still here, so I’ll always do it good. It always comes back somehow.

The key in a merit shop is to make, you know, from the merit shop. You want to, like you said, you’re on your own merit. You want to throw the wood in the stove like your 401k. Look at all that money you could have used to go around, and what would you have done with that money at 21, 22, 23 years old? Well, I probably wouldn’t be alive today. But you piled it in there in the stove analogy. I mean, I do like the analogy because it applies to a lot of things, especially your 401k. You keep putting money in when you’re old; you’ll get it back; you’ll get the heat.

But, you know, as far as working for Barts Electric, if you just come in, do the bare minimum, and leave, you’re just going to be another body on a job site. But if you come in and you put effort in, and you try, and you help the company also because, you know, you guys help us with the schooling. You helped me become an electrician, which is what I want to do. You want to grow your company, so the least I can do is try to help you out.

You know, by bringing ideas to the table or putting the extra work in here, extra work in there, you know, get this job further ahead so we can go help these guys over here. I mean, we’re all one big community. We’re all Barts Electric. We’re the service department, construction side, Louisville guys. The Barts culture, to me, is come in, help out your fellow man, teach these young guys what they need to be taught. You know, teach them everything. You know it’s up to them to where they want to grow or stay buried in the dirt
