here's a great "obama stimulus" story you'll want to read.
ok...as most of you fans remember, i had a solid $100/day employee last year up and take an obama stimulus official windmill building job for $300/day. he called one day and just gave me the news, no notice, no nothing. he was making a whole lot more with obama doing very little work and even though it was temporary...hey, gotta chase those bucks. he did and i had to scramble to replace him. now, i've got crews doing my work and the one crew i do send out personally with $50/day lackeys...he's now making too much money for me to use. he doesn't have the obama job, i've used him a scant five times this season, and today i told him that his services are no longer needed because of guys like him that forced me to outsource, there's not enough for me to justify hiring him. nice guy but when you play games during a recession, don't be surprised when we go elsewhere for solutions. my goal is to take profit off the top and farm out all the work to somebody else. good plan don't you think? lol...not my problem if you got a job or not. you didn't think of me the employer when you ran off to take that fleeting obama job, now, did ya? People need to understand that if the owner makes money, you make money. When we don't make money, you will lose your jobs. We are "employers" for a reason...we have more hustle than you. We work the system better than you. It's no surprise that business owners always find ways around any government obstacles put in our way. Fact of life, folks...learn to keep us happy or you'll pay the price.
