@sickburnbro Protip: If you don't treat them like shit, they typically don't leave. That includes paying a decent wage and benefits even to entry level workers. Does this mean that I, as the owner, earn less in the short term? Yes. Does it mean that the company grows by cultivating actual talent? Absolutely.

Boomer greed has destroyed the SMB market just as financialization has destroyed the larger corporations. It's an endless chase for more profit at the expense of everything else - your employees, your product, your level of service, your community, and your customer base. Who can be surprised that everything's so shitty nowadays?
