We have a member who owns a small business and I want to do a little bragging on him-

He picked one day this month and let 100% of the revenue of his business go to all of his employees.

To make sure it was a success he advertised on social media and the public came out in droves. They called in, they drove by to purchase.

That night at the company Christmas dinner each employee received over $1000.

That is class.

There are folks that own businesses who understand the value that their employees add to their success, and try and take the time and money to show them how they appreciate them.

And it would be nice if there were more of them!

You are dead right. People will fight to work at a place like that. They will also treat the job better- people that get treated that we’ll return it in other ways- they don’t steal, they don’t waste product, abuse company property or get sloppy and leave a mess. They treat customers better. All that helps the business prosper. Everybody wins.

Especially me, because this guy might buy a boat and boy are we going fishing’😂😂

It’s hard to say - you really never know the financial picture of everything- My workers think I’m making a killing and I believe we just had the absolute worst year possible and finished it with a $40,000 hit because some person messed up a very critical project- And simply walked away.

Yeah that kind of crap really gets to me- I have an uncle that told someone he could not pay them the way that I paid people and he was driving a Mercedes at the time-

“Well maybe it’s because he spending his money on the car instead of the people.....”

About 98% of money things get down to how people administer their finances

Back in the mid-eighties, I worked for a company that went through a belt tightening. I had a salary freeze for 18 months, and 5 weeks furlough (I got to pick which weeks I was unemployed). Share holders were happy, stock prices was good.

That year I got 2 days pay as a Christmas bonus. The president got a $1,000,000 bonus for record profits. At that time, the company employed about 40,000 people worldwide. Ironically, the record profits was equal to 5 weeks payroll.

THATS FUCKED MAN.

I shouldnt really complain, my benefits for medical and dental are super good and i get a 1% lease on any car i want. years ago the employees used to get a car for 500 a month including insurance cost for a e class. 600 for an s class. but we arent coorporate anymore so no more cheap cars. just 1% leases.
