No excuses, no second chances. Workers hated him. Down at the local, the files overflowed from complaints. But construction companies loved Mac Alexander. He could ramrod a job and deliver it on time and under budget.
Time is money.
Alexander's meanness was lifelong. His wife left him more than 20 years ago. His grown children shunned him. If somebody got hurt on the job, Mac would send him to the hospital, replace him and then never look back. He didn't give a damn about anything or anybody.
