Yeah, like a dude comes in with 3 inch toggles in his ears sporting a purple Mohican and jeans with holes in them as a wardrobe statement is BOUND to get hired and if not they should be SUED, right?

Not if they have no profit share of the business. That is why most employees don't care. Give them a profit share and they will care. Would you kill the goose if it laid golden eggs? That is why they would care.
Your employees care about you as much as you care about them. Very little. If they get no share of the golden eggs they could care less of the goose dies. That is your problem.
enough. I have to agree completely getting a share of the profits on top of that
makes the work a little more personal and profitable as well. You get shares they
keep building because where you are working is making money; the last thing you
want to see it fail; the more it succeeds, the greater your nest egg; it is a win, win
for employees and businesses.
@metal-brain saidWhy, you certainly aren't living like a Communist, given the computer world and such as that. You must have money.
I am a communist.
People will try to get some people fired simply because they don't like that person. I have seen it happen even though that person did good work and was productive. Perhaps as an employer you don't care that much, but if it affected the productivity of several workers you might reconsider. After all, you are interested in profit and not losses.
But the big question we all have, this means that you are malnourished. How do you get around that?

I imagine payoffs in paper bags in a park somewhere, maybe even in Rubles.
Funny, before, he said he was a 'socialist' and now has swung all the way directly to Putin which is not a good sign for his future health, a polonium salad could be on the way.......
@sonhouse saidI'm still reeling from Metal Brain thinking employees should get a share of profits when they have no skin in the game, no money/value at risk, just expect a check from management at en of the day. It is so preposterous, that I cannot even get a foothold on common ground to respond. Maybe, Metal Brain could you show us how it would work....from scratch? My son gets a simple 'job' at Amazon. What is the process thereafter to accomplish your idea???

@sonhouse saidOK, ,now where was I. I am a business owner, I dont want freakish (define any way you want) working for me. I size up this guy and dont hire him. I dont think I am required to say why, or even talk to him

I am not BOUND to hire him, and who is 'they' that should be sued.? Me as the biz owner? What for? Have some coffee, Sonhouse.
@kellyjay saidAn employer can indeed 'pay' you with shares of the business. Banks do that a lot. Perfectly fine. Or, if you have confidence in the success of the business, you can buy shares on line.

A good example, Home Depot employees did that a lot and. became millionaires.
@AverageJoe1
The only problem I would have with that stance is the idea that a man with resume X and a woman with the same or better resume and the man gets hired the majority of the time.
If I was a business owner and had someone come in like I described, I would never let him work as a sales clerk or such where he would be perceived as being a spokesman for the company but would maybe hire him for back room work if the need was there for a worker.
@metal-brain said"Give them a profit share". I know what "....them a profit share" means, but exactly what do you mean by "Give"? If you want to have an adult conversation, you simply have got to explain this.
Not if they have no profit share of the business. That is why most employees don't care. Give them a profit share and they will care. Would you kill the goose if it laid golden eggs? That is why they would care.

I used to work for Agere and they had the 401K deal where they contributed some small percentage besides your contribution, isn't that kind of the same thing?
@averagejoe1 saidA guy I used to work with sold some Intel stock bought a van, it split several times to the point had he kept it it was way over 6 figures. He kept saying it was his million dollar van. 😀

Absolutely right. You should be a professor at Kellogg.

@averagejoe1 saidJoe... We may not have told you this before, in fact, nobody in your family probably ever had the heart to, but...

Being in an MLM does not make you a business owner.
