Family members got off every Friday and unlimited vacation while all others got one week vacation and no sick leave, paid themselves 4-5 times what the highest non-family members got paid and they all had company owned cars. Net result- they ended up stealing all the money, bankrupted the company and still living fat and happy while most of the employees suffered, fortunately I had long sine left before that happened. been over 30 years ago but I have never forgotten all the bullshit they pulled on everybody. No desire to ever work for someone else's family again.I did 25 years with corporate America, they have some serious bullshit with them also.

Guess I'm done here for a bit.
Happy New Year & 8th day of Christmas to y'all. Funny thing about this Today's Joe offering ... a friend took me out to an upscale cigar bar in DC for my birthday (NYE). I brought the cigars & he bought the food & whiskey. He brought with him a long time friend who is now a Benedictine monk, who also enjoyed a cigar with us. Shoulda taken a photo. So i come home and check the daily deal which is a new DE offering "Smoking Monk"! God's got a sense of humor ; ^{--~~ I tell you, life is stranger & more interesting than fiction. (Good guys). PS, the monk grew up in LA.
Happy New Year 2015 Mayor Tony. Thank you for providing and maintaining this great Banter to share our mostly incoherent thoughts.
