Sounds like more Obama economics , give the federal workers more money out of the taxpayers pockets in the hope they alone can stimulate the economy

 

The most frightening data is that effective this year, there are more Federal/municipality workers then private workers. There are 61% Federal/State/local government workers and 39% private. So if you consider that government workers don't really add to the economy but just take from the economy plus 20% of the of the population that just take (welfare, etc) that leaves few private workers supporting the entire country. We have become servants to the governments. Government workers have better pensions, better pay and better benefits.

 

If this doesn't concern you then look at France where 81% of the workers are government workers.

If I made 150k I would take a year off to go ridin!

 

Glad I'm not alone.......interestingly enough, I would also take a year off and go ridin'!! I'd take my sons as well. We'd race every Amateur National MX race across the country - on new bikes! (If I made more than 150k or even 150k!!)

What do you ride?

      The Toolbox is Last to Leave, First is the Heart
      By Joe Marconi in Joe's Blog

      It always amazes me when I hear about a technician who quits one repair shop to go work at another shop for less money. I know you have heard of this too, and you’ve probably asked yourself, “Can this be true? And Why?” The answer rests within the culture of the company. More specifically, the boss, manager, or a toxic work environment literally pushed the technician out the door.
      While money and benefits tend to attract people to a company, it won’t keep them there. When a technician begins to look over the fence for greener grass, that is usually a sign that something is wrong within the workplace. It also means that his or her heart is probably already gone. If the issue is not resolved, no amount of money will keep that technician for the long term. The heart is always the first to leave. The last thing that leaves is the technician’s toolbox.
      Shop owners: Focus more on employee retention than acquisition. This is not to say that you should not be constantly recruiting. You should. What it does means is that once you hire someone, your job isn’t over, that’s when it begins. Get to know your technicians. Build strong relationships. Have frequent one-on-ones. Engage in meaningful conversation. Find what truly motivates your technicians. You may be surprised that while money is a motivator, it’s usually not the prime motivator.
      One last thing; the cost of technician turnover can be financially devastating. It also affects shop morale. Do all you can to create a workplace where technicians feel they are respected, recognized, and know that their work contributes to the overall success of the company. This will lead to improved morale and team spirit. Remember, when you see a technician’s toolbox rolling out of the bay on its way to another shop, the heart was most likely gone long before that.
