I'm just saying that So9's opinion is not all that different than alot of buisness manager's and exec's.

Unless the business has 25 employees who travel from town to town six months of the year, eat with each other and spend most waking hours together, your comparison of a business to a ball team is inapt.

We had an employee die of a heart attack in an IBM office back in 1983 in the early afternoon. The branch manager didn't send anybody home, but there wasn't a lick of work done for the rest of the day, either.

ReallY? So a CEO of a large corporation has the luxury of saying, "O.K. everybody back to work", but a small buisness owner has the moral responsibility to send everyone home for the day?

Exactly. On the day of massive layoffs where I work, those who were left were allowed to go home if they wanted. On 9-11, we were also given the opportunity to go home and be with our families, and take the next day if we needed it.
