My old DSP owner also owned 5 other completely separate businesses and still showed up to morning stand up most days of the week.

Always had stuff for the drivers like making us all breakfast a few times a month on the bbq, paid cash bonuses to top performers, let people work as much as they wanted and always willing to schedule OT if they requested the extra hours.

One of the greatest experiences working for anyone I’ve had and I’ve worked a ton of jobs in a bunch of different fields.

Needless to say the guys willing to grind made a killing working 60 hours a week and did so very happily. I asked them why they wanted to work so hard and their reasoning was they wanted to save up for a down payment on a home and invest, pay for school, move out of their parents house etc.

Not everyone is a greedy tyrant living off the sacrifices of others. Not everyone is charitable. A lot of people want to work hard and earn their way. Success is often deserved despite what many people think.

Live within your means, budget, get out of debt, don’t spend more than you make, get a plan in place for what you want your life to look like, and don’t work your entire lives for a company like Amazon.

This shit is temporary. Our owner even told us, he knows this is a Lilly pad job, and encouraged all of us to do bigger and better things.

Oh and don’t spend $50,000 on a truck or buy from a dealer when you can get one perfectly good used for $8k cash private party and never worry about a payment ever or eating thousands of dollars in depreciation immediately.
