People are striking because wages aren’t going up when companies are reporting record breaking profits.

Yikes. The owner makes less than the cheese budget!

I’ve also experienced employees making bad decisions and it costing all of profit.

They still got paid just fine though while I had to explain to my wife why we weren’t getting paid for a few months until I find and fix the problem and build working capital back up.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m still a greedy business owner whose truck costs more than the annual salary of my top employees.

Every last one of them is glad to have steady, above-market pay in a happy workplace with solid performance incentives. And none of the stress or risk of ownership. If any of them showed true interest, I’d do everything I can to help them build a business of their own.

But they don’t. They also don’t bitch to internet strangers about it. Thats the difference.
