Most people would just lay down and take it.

It's one thing to have everyone all pull together as a team, and keep the business afloat in tough times, and another thing entirely to be the one slogging ot out in the trenches with management cheering you on from the sidelines, never getting their hands dirty, or taking any hits.


Worst business I ever worked for was family owned. Bunch of thieves, liars, and outright idiots who inherited it from the old man, who was actually a smart guy and good to work for.

They had to sell out, or be forced out of business, at the end. I saw the hand-writing on the wall, and had left two years previous to that, after twenty-four years of busting my ass for a bunch of ungrateful shits.

And that was back in a strong economy, when even the dumb business owners were making money.
