Who wants to work?

"I've found that the vast majority of Generation X'rs and the Mellennial's have self appointed themselves to Pre-maddona status and think they are entitled to the wage that reflects that status. When the reality is they are complete bumbling idiots and can not do anything that they claim. Their Resumes are complete fiction and useless in the selection process."

Prima Donna. Not Pre Madonna. Its an opera term that's been around a lot longer than Madonna, though she would qualify as one. And yes, decent help is hard to come by. So is decent employment and employers. Every generation likes to pronounce judgement on what follows. In my experience, you find what you're looking for, so why not look for the good a little more?

That's what your elders said about your Generation

Labor jobs are hard to fill around here. I know a few guys that own masonry companies, and they have a really hard time with younger guys for summer help. Multiple cases of the people putting in 1 ****ty day of work and not showing up again. I'm concerned about being able to hire quality farm help when our seasonal help is too old.

The way I see it, business owners will always put high profit and juniors college fund first over their employees.

When the employee signs the bank loan with a personal guarantee and puts everything they own on the line, then I will treat them more like an owner.

You might want to separate your personal and business property to avoid "putting everything you own on the line". Several ways to incorporate and shelter yourself...


I think your attitude will definitely attract paycheck workers, good luck.

Is that what you expect from your employees? treat em like dirt until they give you their soul. Seems legit.

Wow! Touchy workers!
I was responding to the comment of the owner putting profit and Jr. ahead of his employees.
I treat my employees well, and as a result they have been with me for many years.

I could try to explain what an owner has to go through and has had to go through to get the opportunity to run a business, but with the attitude of some of you it seams like a waste of time.

Well last I checked, your employees have a lot on the line too. I bet they have homes and vehicles to pay for as well.


I have spent more time running business' than working for them in my career, it has to be a give and take. Often times it isn't.

The bank understands how incorporating works, thus the reason for a personal guarantee.
Given that most very small Corps. are controlled by one or two people, it would be pretty easy to run up the accounts payable, drain the inventory, accounts receivable and checking, all the while giving yourself huge bonus checks to buy vacation homes, expensive cars, snowmobiles etc.

When the business goes broke, the bank has zero recourse to recoup their money if the Corp has a loan, unless they have the personal guarantee.

The way the bank looks at it is, if the business owner isn't willing to personally stand behind their venture, it's not worth the risk for them either.

I'm not a big fan of banks in general, but I need them because I don't (didn't) have the cash to buy and operate my business.

If I had that much cash, I wouldn't have needed the business.

And by the way, I am incorporated.

That's what I was thinking. Could easily be wrong but I don't think incorporating will automatically allow you access to capital with no risk. They're still gonna want the personal guarantee. Right?

Im sure we all have friends or family that run their own businesses, and we are aware of the risks and rewards involved.
