(146,288 posts)what you do during work hours? Why, I oughta...
Since I've been self-employed since 1974, and have never had an employee, I'm not sure how I'd feel about people working for me hanging out on DU, Twitter or Facebook. I'm guessing that I wouldn't like it very much, really. As the boss and only employee of my business, I can do whatever I damned well please, of course. That's maybe why I've never hired anyone in any of the businesses I've operated. I'd probably be a lousy boss.
The old business card I used to have for my little one-person shareware company had a list of my titles on it, along with the phone number of my BBS system and my Compuserve address. The list was something like this:
CEO, CFO, IT Director, Publications Director, Janitor, Shipping Clerk, Customer Support Representative, Maintenance Technician, Etc.
It was a funny business card, and got a number of chuckles when handed to people.
