Absolutely I think that. Now about the 8 hours/day thing. It is not my fault if a company wants me to come in even on days I don't feel like working-- that is how they set their priorities, but I am used to working contract jobs where over and over I add value to projects and hit deadlines. If I didn't provide exceptional…
Flip it around and you're saying me as a business owner should consider firing you the moment I feel I'm not getting my money's worth of work out of you? For shit's & giggles go to rescuetime.com and try it for a few days. See how many of your 8 hours a day you're actually working. I'm not suggesting you're a slacker, it…
How about April 15th, its "Tea Day" well technically its "Tax-day Tea-Party" (someone shot right past the obvious name and went for long and convoluted).

O so what you're proposing is that all employees own an equal share in equity of the firm. How do you start something like this up? Say its a game company and you need 20 people. So you require 20 peoples worth of equipment and software licenses, you need offices, office equipment, these are the fixed costs. Then theres…
Hey John, I understand your frustration at the business aspect of the industry. It's something I struggle to deal with and work around too. Personally speaking, I've yet to find a position in this industry that satisfies my desire for a balance of business and pleasure in the workplace and the work I'm asked to do. So I'll…
I think that you are having trouble expressing this fundamental concept because it is more of a spiritual belief than anything rooted in actual cause and effect.

hah! thanks Rob. very good. I`m glad there`s someone kicking around who gives a shit about people. First things first -- I know that we all pretty much know this already.
