Taking managing by phone to a whole new level

If you’re in the market for a business where the only line of communication is directly with the owner, Christo—by phone only, of course—and all on-site inspections and feedback are entirely delegated to Shadrack, the foreman, then Rain Irrigation might just be the perfect fit for you.

Just be prepared: Shadrack brings a unique level of enthusiasm to the job—somewhere between stoic and stone-faced—and his grasp of water flow and basic physics seems, let’s say, refreshingly unconventional. If you’re hoping for a collaborative experience where your concerns are heard and addressed, you may need to lower your expectations just a touch.

To be fair, every company makes mistakes. The real test is how those mistakes are handled. In this case, Rain Irrigation seems to have taken a bold approach—opting to sidestep accountability with a kind of determination that’s almost admirable in its consistency. If unwavering confidence in the face of clear issues is what you’re after, look no further.
