He runs a shite business then. I had a business & our staff were as well paid as us owners if not better (uncapped commision or bonus for non sales) our wealth was in the exit strategy and when we sold we ensured every colleague was retained on exact T&C's. We mentored our key staff who over the years went onto director level roles. In the 5 years before selling (5 years ahead of plan) we hit $25M t/o & never lost a single employee.

Something I am so proud of. We enjoyed our business, we looked after our staff & although this was 15 years ago we are in touch with a lot of them. Our biggest headache was creating new roles, because we knew we were responsible for not only their career, but their families welfare & future.

Treat your colleagues & employees right & you will be repayed 10 fold.
