<p>[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 7524958, member: 92655"]Now John.... This sort of talk is going both ways and it's not helping a thing..... I am the boss at my place. In March of 2020 when nobody knew what was on the horizon and we didn't know if business was finished or anything else, I made an announcement to my staff that regardless of what the future holds that this company can promise at least three months income to everyone. I had no idea if business was done due to Covid... What I did know is that I had been thrifty and with what I had saved and I could guarantee that my guys and their families would be taken care of as long as this companies cash reserves held out.</p><p><br /></p><p>My next step was to send everyone home... But you know what? I didn't miss a day of work. I bid the jobs, tended the customers, washed the toilets, wrote the checks and made the deposits when we were blessed with them. Once we got a handle on things several months in, I implemented a rotating schedule that exists to this day. But this boss did not miss one single day of work and I did that for the guys that work hard for me, though I did forfeit a few pay periods. By the grace of God it appears we have come out the other side and are again motivating forward.</p><p><br /></p><p>See I am just a tad incensed with this constant negative back and forth... They don't want to work... We are greed monsters.... It goes on and on and the only thing it accomplishes is further division. There is good and bad on both sides of this equation. Always been that way. It's just that the bad makes for better press.... I am sorry I had to get that off my chest. I promise it isn't personal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
