Hi All,
I agree that any person or group of people who start a business are there for themselves first.
In most cases employees are just a by product of the need to keep a business growing in order to keep sales moving.
But, I believe there is a major differece in the way people look at busiess and a living today.
In years gone by people were happy just to make a living. The shop owners of the corner stores did not ever expect to ever be Millionaires. They just wanted to provide a place in the world for their families to live.
Today eveyone wants to hit that lottery and they seem willing to do whatever they have need to do to find that pot of gold.
For example Disney asks its employees to take pay cuts and layoffs while they pay it's CEO an 11 million dollar bonus. Walt Disney would be ashamed of that. Yes he made money but he treated his employees like family.
The second problem I see it that we expect more and more people to be more and more technical. In the past there were always jobs available for the those people who just are not that technical. Assembly line jobs where a person could at least earn a living. Today we ship those jobs off shore and wonder why we have so many homeless people. We pay pennies a day for labor while we line our pockets with more money than we could ever use.
I don't have any answers because I to want that KN7000 for $400 or HD TV for less than $1000. And I too want that Lottery JackPot but that does not mean its good or right.
Happy Playing,
Heather
