Yeah, this picture seems really odd to me. Cambria is seeing soaring demand for their products; they're having trouble keeping up, to the point that they're actually losing sales and profit, because they can't staff up their factory; for the most part they don't require skilled labor; so they recently raised wages from $16.66 to a whopping $18/hr. Also their employees complain of poor morale and not being listened to. And on the other hand, they have an attendance problem.

So it sounds to me like, they can't hire people because they're stingy assholes. Am I missing something? Seems like if they set out to share their success with their employees instead of keeping it to themselves, they would have better luck. So pay an attractive wage, like $24/hr, and treat people well (and listen to them), and then if an employee has an attendance problem you fire them, because you're not paying that kind of money for crappy employees either.

Maybe someone can explain why I'm full of it, but from what I read here I have a hard time feeling very sympathetic.
