How many of you own or manage a Company?Good for you! Sounds like you are doing it right. Much success to you!
I do. We are now up to 16 employees, we are a industrial repair facility.
I have one "Caucasian" working for me. He has been with us since 1978.
The rest of our men are all Hispanic, whom we have taught a skilled trade.
Three of the younger men, still in their 20's, were taken right out of high school vocational programs. The rest have been hired through yhe years either by word of mouth, relative, or what ever.
Why no young "white guys"? It is quite simple. They don't want to do this type of work, where you have to learn a highly skilled, and well paid trade, and also get dirty.
The trade we are in, a young man who can think on his feet and be willing to work can be making $80,000+ a year after about 3 to 4 years of training, with a nice benefit package.
We treat our men right because we invest a lot of time and effort into their education, so to speak.
You would think that would attract any young man. But the big catch is at the end of the day, you will be tired, and dirty.

Mine is smaller but slightly more diverse and very well educated.In line with diversity goals, I hope the successor is a black lesbian woman with some American Indian heritage who is disabled, and is committed to diversity in your other employees, and suppliers, as well as cutting edge green technology. I also hope she supports paid maternity and paternity leave for a minimum of 12 weeks, and a living wage of at least 15 dollars per hour, plus benefits.
5 males - 5 females
3 Hispanics
1 Asian American
1 African American
1 Native American
1 Associate Degree
7 Bachelor Degrees (only 1 Coog sniff, sniff)
4 Law Degrees
We have serviced our niche for over 75 years and we are still using the original name. The work is not physical but demanding nonetheless. There is no time clock but the 10 full time employees (2 are considered hourly) probably average in the neighborhood of 60-65 hours per week. Even though there are two of us considered to be the Chief Cooks and Bottle Washers ( I consider that terminology offensive to working class people) (different responsibilities), 7 of our employees have been with the Company longer than me, including the other CC&BW.
Our long-term outlook is excellent and there is a very capable successor in place. I plan to retire soon! Hopefully, the Company will be around another 75 years, if not many more! Originally Posted by bigtex

If not, you are just another angry old white man, and you are part of the fucking problem.

I am glad that puts me over and above what you have previously categorized as the "another angry old white man" category. Since we have now established that I am NOT a "part of the fucking problem," who is? Could it be that the "angry old" Jewish Defectors have already saturated the "part of the fucking problem" market?
Perhaps! Originally Posted by bigtex

Is the successor a white man or not?Did anyone other than me follow the sequence of leading questions asked by the Jewish Defector?
Is it twelve weeks of paid maternity leave for both parents, including gay parents?

In question #1, he wants to know whether "the successor" will be "a white man."
He follows that in questions 2 & 3 by pointedly asking whether our company offers paid benefits for "gay" employees and/or their "spouses."
Hmmmmm, sure sounds like the Jewish "Gay" Blade is looking for a job! Originally Posted by bigtex
