I'm a loser babe, so why don't ya kill me.

As I am signing payroll checks the other day, the realities of owning a business struck fast and hard.

85% of my employees make more money than I do!

Good for them, but isn't it supposed to be the other way around? I've got the risks. I've got the debt. I've all the problems associated with them making their money. WTF is up with this scenario?

I think you are not evil enough. I know that was my problem when I was managing.

Thing is, I set all the wages...including my own. Evil may be too strong a word, I think lacking ruthlessness or greed better defines me.

I once heard a rumor that the CEO of a huge Midwestern home improvement chain we work with, fired a manager for driving too fancy of a car. The reasoning being he did not pay him enough to afford such car, so he must be stealing.

If THAT is true, that's evil baby!
