This was a great life lesson Mike, and other than the stress related internal organ damage, as well as lip damage, that might have happened, you handled it very well.
You know this, but I'll say it:
Are you still getting positive feedback from customers?
How does that branch look "on the books"?
I can say from spending a couple of days with Davis and Ely that I'd let them clean for my mother and I'd leave a blank check on the table.
The good thing that came from this screw up is that it forced you to examine everything the California branch does and how it could be improved.
Even more importantly, remember this:
Over time, that company will change in bad ways and good. Davis isn't you, and its not his job to be you (unless you really want to screw the young man up....which I know you don't)
You just need to guide him to be the best "Davis" he can be, both as an employer and a father.
Thus far, you've done a damn good job.

On the books?
Sales volume goes up each year but according to business 101, we over pay our staff so profits ain't what they could be if we were to employ rotational idiots.
But than even Silver would be impossible.
And that $4200 job yesterday?
Never would have happened. Davis secured that billionaire on their first interview.

Honestly with his experience in doing jobs like that already, and all your great reviews.
Your company is a no brainer for anybody who does an ounce of research.

Around here they're a joke. Worst mexican restaurant wins every year. Worst of everything wins. Has to do with advertising dollars spent. I see that best of gold sticker and know it's the worst ever.

Actually it may have less to do with advertising dollars then how
many people you know who'll vote for you.
In Mike's case Letip matters!

I feel your pain! Totally relate to the mind Fck it does to you.
We've only gotten "one of the best" the past Two years. Giving up the title the first time had me go though all this same emotions.
But then remind myself the way these things work and read our reviews ans feedack cards. The stuff people say about us on the Facebook community pages....
Ana then I look st my SM data and see that we are growing every year, most of our new business is from referrals and our average invoice increases every year....and all is right in my world again
But we sure do like being in "first place".

Yeah, I hear it all the time: "We wanted Connoisseur, but he says he doesn't come to Alabama so we settled for you."
Word gets around... and you bums who think the reviews are all bought (not earned) are bums, sons of bums and most likely the fathers of bums who will sire bums well into the future. Let the poor guy have his moment, you bums.
But for goodness sake, don't make fart jokes on Facebook.

I bite my tongue 99 out of a hundred times.
The one time I do let go, it the time I'm usually wrong about something.
