‘On the Beach’ a metaphor;(
Oldie but goodie.
I am reluctantly looking at retirement in Costa Rica (decades from now).
Atlas is shrugging.
Let me guess, this guy owns a lobbying firm.
I started this company 28 years ago. At that time, I lived in a 300 square foot studio apartment for 3 years.
Believable up to here... good story of American Dream type startup guy...
They worked 40 hours a week and made a modest $50K a year and spent every dime they earned. They drove flashy cars and lived in expensive homes and wore fancy designer clothes.
Really? Getting pretty inconsistent here. Firstly, MOST people work, MOST people don't start companies. In addition, isn't this letter purportedly to your employees who presumably work and want to live comfortably.. and 'fancy designer clothes'? huh?
So, while you physically arrive at the office at 9 am, mentally check in at about noon, and then leave at 5 pm, I don't.
OK, this is where the BS flag finally hit max and I switched off. If you are the boss, why don't you have enough managerial skills to get 8 hours of work out of your people. Why are you insulting your employees?
Just dumb.

I got so little support that I frankly don't care what happens to those students or their parents any more. I'm not interested in trying to teach my subject matter much less trying to instill the correct values in a people with hardened hearts. What is going to have to happen is a complete and total collapse and probably subsequent bloodshed before people will wake up, open their ears and finally listen.
Until then, keep partying; keep living immorally; keep doing the stupid things that are dragging the nation down and keep trying to destroy those who would prevent you from falling off of the cliff of foolishness and watch what happens next. Oh, and make sure you kill the messenger.
yhea, I remember this letter....
This has to be a fake. Entrepreneurs don’t think like this.
This writer is right on. Hope your employer can keep you employed, with your attitude you should have been gone a long time ago...Its all about you, right and your rights to his rewards that he earned by risks he took and time he spent building the small company so you could have a job.....
I half joking told him to check his parking lot for Obama or democrat bumper stickers and fire them first..
I wonder if you are one of those employee's that really start to work at noon and go home at 5. Sounds like you are the dog that got hit with the rock, your the one yelping.
Oh and by the way, who do you think starts up all the companies that give people like you a job...Unless you work for a large corp. You know the kind I'm talking about. Those corrupt corps that long haired, dope smoking pseudo hippies that love all the benefits the corps. give to you...like the computer that your using to post on FR.
No need to list the rest of the items corps make to make your life livable. Or are you a union person? Just curious with the last question..and don't you just love those smelly parasites protesting (LOL) the nasty capitalist that make all the toys you enjoyed in your youth and the great stuff you use now.
This is an old email that went around quite a while ago, and its still true today. The boss may not be your favorite person, but you seem like the kind of person that bites the hand that feeds them... Or do you think its your right to a job and to hell with the greedy owner.
Yep, blame the owner for your own laziness. Your remarks are quite telling...
This is not meant for those unemployed and honestly are out there trying to find a job.
You are right about one thing.. MOST people don't start companies, just those with drive and desire to be their own boss and as a by product give whiners like you a job.
Quit your whining and build your own company. Then you can hire people like you that think you owe them a living and all the benefits that the government demands the owner give you, plus you love the government that dictate regulations that 90% of which are not necessary but sure do keep the boss from giving you a raise if you deserve it..
Those tax hikes are what government employees call “austerity.” Get out while you can, Bossy. Don’t come back, until all education in the USA has been privatized. That’ll be the signal.

I'll take your moniker at face value and treat you respectfully as an elder. That said, I think you need to pull the reins WAYYYYYYYyyyyyy back on the ad hominem. Did I personally do something to you? Wow.
Perhaps you need to read what I wrote. I believe the original post is a fake. It's a fake email probably written by a cranky old person and then spammed across the internet. It is fiction.
I completely agree with the underlying sentiment; however, the writing style is that of an advocate trying to prove a point. In conclusion, third rate writers with a grudge ought not spam the internet for their cause.
Ding ding ding!
The Greek government chooses the tax hikes instead of spending cuts, BTW—not the choice of the EMU creditors (Germany, France and other northern manufacturing countries). Things to come for our USA, with a debt-to-GDP of over 100% now.

Added more keywords, Granny. *Snicker*
Your last paragraph puts your view clear and that is a view I can agree with except I don't think a cranky old person was spamming across the Internet. I didn't write it honest injun.....probably someone getting tired of being made out to be the bad guy. Who ever wrote it strikes a cord for many small business men and women...
I appreciate your respect for my age. I am a grandmother of 13 and its my reward for raising their parents...:O)
