Step inside the corporate headquarters of Hard-Nosed Nails and Screws Inc and you can smell the corporate culture immediately. This is a tough, mean, money-driven, sharp-suited, ‘dog eat dog’ kind of place where you don’t just jump when you are told to, you compete to see how high you can jump.
Hard-Nosed does not have ‘relationships’ with its suppliers and service providers. It puts most work out to tender, picks the lowest price, argues and haggles about rates until it has driven the price down even further and then, when the work has been finished, insists on further reductions.
Strangely, it is rare for the same firm or business to tender for consecutive pieces of work.
