This is what I believe is the second year of recovery, a real recovery year, of the near extinction event, we all survived, called the Pandemic." -Chris Griffin"We're all now at a sustained level of business activity. We know the customers have come back, but there are still disruptions everywhere." -Chris Griffin"Wages are doubled. The talent gap exists in many, many positions. We still have inconsistent supply chain deliverables. We see some vertical markets have recovered fully, others not as much. So I think there's an uneven expectation of business by, by vertical sector, and I think that's gonna continue in 2024." -Chris Griffin"Our 2023 takeaway, let's get back to the proven processes and procedures that allow us to do business with each other efficiently, 'cause that's the best way we can help our customers.
