Why Employees Suck.

The minute you hire an employee, your life changes. You are suddenly responsible for a lot of things. Payroll taxes, unemployment insurance, Workers compensation. Are we having fun yet? Once you own a small
business with employees, Fridays will never be the same. As an employee, I used to look forward every other Friday to getting a paycheck. As a small business owner, every other Friday brings a sense of panic. You are constantly asking yourself: “Can I make payroll on Friday?” Welcome to Management. Managing people is a challenging task. Employees have been known to lie, cheat, steal money, etc. You probably can’t afford the best employees within your startup budget. You have to hire who can afford to take your low paying job. Additionally, No one will care about your small business venture like you do. You cannot expect employees to do so. Remember, this is your dream, not theirs. The worst thing about employees is that you have now magically turned yourself into a boss. You will probably be a lousy boss at first. Take a management class and try not to drive away your employees. Employees suck…Bad bosses suck worse.
