Reply to "letter from "the boss""

I often have office parties at my home. I drive my cat to the office and show it off to my employees just like I would to anyone else.

Why not? They have lots of stuff that I don't have - timeshares, country homes, hobbies and friends. And best of all they get four weeks off every year to enjoy it!

They take extra unpaid holidays whenever they want and work a daily schedule that fits their family life and their activities - not mine.

I have no problem showing them the fruits of my labors. I'm in the office before them and still there while they're on their 4th beer at home. I'm on pretty much 24/7 and live in a pressure cooker of my own design. They know it and I'm sure that none of them want to trade places with me.

I bail my employees out of divorces, breakups, legal problems and they depend on me to help their families out with whatever. I do this to keep them happy and productive. That's what an employer does.

Their only worry is that if the stress kills me, who will take care of them?
