Ok. When is it time to hire an office manager? I'm feeling like I am spinning in circles some days and I don't get anything done and I seem to be making a lot of mistakes lately.
I have the most experience doing shop work here. I am trying to teach my people what I know as well as run the office and run machines also. I don't micromanage, the people that work for me are good but they need help sometimes. I feel like I am running from one end of the shop to the other.
I answer all the phone calls now all the emails do the shipping receiving material ordering quoting ect. My wife does the payroll, invoicing and book keeping. But she has a full time job outside of the shop and only works here a few hours a week. She's telling me that there's not enough for someone to do all day.
To be honest I think I suck at office management.
