Fuck, it's been so long since I've updated on here, and the last few months I think I've been looking for something of note to write about. Well, I know I got something now
( Read more... )
Running it ethically is a big selling point for me. As of right now, the Capitalist pays minimum wage and treats his employees like shit. He won't even give them a real discount on his products. There is only a couple of part time staff because he's too worried about making the most amount of money.
One of the employees is losing his eye sight which makes me wonder how much longer he can work. I've seen his house, and he's not doing well. He's also very knowledgeable about the hobby and would be integral to the store. I'd like to double or triple his salary, or even more, and maybe set something up for him once his eye sight is gone.
Even though I'd own the store, I'd try to make it feel as egalitarian as possible--no ranks or seniority, try to eliminate the 'boss' image. I've worked at a place like that before, and trust me, it made a HUGE difference! It made you always want to go to work.
It's almost worth it just to give the employees a good life. I think they've about had it with the Capitalist's Wal-mart model of business.
Oh, he's also a slumlord and tries to make the most amount of money he can off oil stocks.
I keep getting more and more excited about this, even though everything is still up in the air.
Yeah, ethical treatment for employees gets me really excited!
Ahhh I am excited! I think this could be the perfect move for you. Everyone I know who's met you think you have a Masters in Marine Biology, you're so knowledgeable.

I am looking to hire friends and family. So far, Cichelly's girlfriend has dibs on bookkeeping. As for the rest, man, I have no idea!
