It might be said that it is the ideal of the employer to have production without employees and the ideal of the employee is to have income without work.

Which came first:

the change-ready company or the change-ready employee?

The nature of employees is nothing but the reflection of the character of the employer; to understand him clearly, just watch the attitude of the topmost & oldest person of the organisation.

Few can contemplate without a sense of exhilaration the splendid achievements of practical energy and technical skill, which, from the latter part of the seventeenth century, were transforming the face of material civilization, and of which England was the daring, if not too scrupulous, pioneer.

Always treat your employees as you would like to be treated, but never cross the line by making a friend of an employee.

The bottom line is this is an issue that should be between the employer and the employee.
