letter from "the boss"

<<<<<<
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?>>>>>>

Dave, white collar employees obviously have a different mentality than blue collar workers.
More than a couple of my customers made a comment to my partner after Pocono about how it must be nice for me to be racing my "Ferrari" around in the states. My partner asked me not to mention my "Ferrari" around employees and customers.
Years ago, my ex-partner had a 10 yr old 5- series BMW. It was a nice car with 100k miles and M5 rims. It's value was approx. $12k at the time (about a third of what a service vehicle cost).I had many customers make comments to me about how business must be good because my partner had a BMW.
NONE of my contractor friends drive their nice cars to work.
It wasn't too long ago that I was an employee. In fact, I still put on a work-pouch most days and hear the comments from employees about their employers. 1 in 10 comments are positive.
Will
