"I loved how he made the city employees' dreams happen at the end."

Think about it. You have 500 employees. One of them catches the boss' eye and gets rewarded with $220,000 to buy a house because they are living in a cramped one bedroom apartment. Immediately you have about 499 pissed off employees who say, "Hey what about me? I work my ass off for you and my place is no palace either. Where's my new house?"

I can think of few faster ways to demoralize your workforce and drive your company out of business.
