I'd like to first tell a story about a dear close friend. This happened many years ago but even today I'd be willing to bet the man doing the spying will say it was done for the sake of his honorable business which is a real travesty.

This boss bugged his business telling himself it was for the good of his company. If one of the workers wasn't happy or voiced something he didn't like or agree to...he'd hear it and fire the employee.

One might argue that the boss owned the business and he had a right to protect his business from what he felt was unprofessional or below the standards of his work place moral compass. BUT the boss himself put up one of the BIGGEST moral infringement himself. Which far exceeds anything an employee could ever do ...the boss stole Trust and Loyalty. Something he demanded in his employees and to make sure he received this Trust and Loyalty he was willing to spy on them and taking away all their freedom of speech but most importantly Trust.

Humans fail on many levels but trying to control or judge another human by his own standards even if he stoops lower than the one he's spying on...so be it. It was for the good of his company. This false belief is what divides people. As today we have the people who are angry over spying of the employee, taking away all of his/her rights/and then there's the people who are promoting the action of the boss.

So when our President speaks of the Forgotten Man...its the employee who was spied on. The Elite boss doing the Spying.

THIS IS WHERE I TELL YOU WHERE MY STORY COMES FROM...............this happened to the leader of the high school class e-mail Liberal years ago.

A good learning moment. Very insightful. Thank you for sharing this story.

In these times, I could not be more happy/relieved not to be n the corporate world & having to deal with all the issues. I work with one other guy. He owns the building & he has his clients & I have my clients. We have gotten along great for almost 20 years.

I only write good things about him because there might be a camera above my desk - Just Kidding!
