I put my highest paid employee in prison for stealing from me!
An honest person won't steal simply because they are paid min. wage.
And a thief will steal no matter how much you pay them.
I own 3 retail businesses.
Have had to mortgage my home 3 times in order to get financing for said businesses.
Not ONE TIME did any of my employees go to the bank & help me secure the loans that help make their jobs possible.
Not ONE TIME has an employee come to me & said "I know times are tough now & you're not making the money you were, so you can cut my pay to help out. (I wouldn't do it anyway)
I appreciate my employees & IMHO treat them fairly. If they think not, they are free to go elswhere.
But if I catch them stealing, I'm going to press charges!

Agreed.

Thanks Aaron & Yale
This thread has given me a case of the reds.
It started out nicley enough, but went haiwire somewhere along the way.

Dear Cecil:

What drives me nuts is someone declaiming on the absolutes in business when there are no absolutes.

You need a tip top leader at the top, who knows how to take care of employees and customers. And make money to boot.

C'mon even with the best screening, you will have 2-3% of your employees rip you off and 2-3% of your customers piss you off. Sorry, maybe that is an absolute.

Sincerely,

Chris Bemis

Quite right !......but it has indeed brought out the characters of some of the 'perfect clients'

Tipping is not any culture in Norway or Europe

It's not a culture in this country either.
The way I see it, in any job not just ones related to hunting, the employer has the responsibility to pay the wages, not me.

Well, I'd still hunt with you. But, if I do, do I have to tip you?????
