Challenging Times Create Opportunities

Send us Fan Mail Recently, I've talked to two different companies. One, a financial services firm, and another one in the manufacturing sector. Both were telling me of potential pending layoffs. Change is coming. Now I'm gonna do something that's gonna be perceived, at least initially, to be a little bit insensitive. Now, what are employees gonna do? Are employees actually gonna come and say, What can I do to help you? I know the company's in trouble, or the company needs extra effort. See what's been happening the last couple years is we've gotta figure out ways to make sure our employees are happy. We gotta give them flex scheduling, and I'm not against any of those things yet. I also go back to an article I wrote a few years ago. What if we abolished payroll and employees invoiced for their time? And somebody said, Wow, that would really drive work ethic. See, I'm afraid we've worked around employees, their issues. I'm gonna say it, stress, anxiety, mental health, all important things. Yet we've also had a certain percentage of the industry and population say, Well, I'm feeling a little stressed. And they kind of grab ahold of that as a tool to not work as hard as potentially as they could. Now, my little company here, we don't have that choice. We have to work hard.
