Makes self employment that much more enjoyable to me.
I get up when I want.
Schedule jobs when I want to.
I charge what I feel my talent and time are worth and always make it worth my time and talent.
I can take a day off when I wish and take a month or 2 vacation if I want.
Yep, self employment is so much better, than someone else dictating my worth in this world.
Business is business as some have said, and it is not a game for the weak of heart. I feel bad for both, but is this the reality of what is happening across America. There is still compassion, and i think his fellow employers if they chose to do so, could do something for their fellow employer, who is in dire trouble. Compassion i still believe in it, just wish in times as this, we can bend the rules. I feel very bad for this gentlemen. I have known under this administration 14 familes who have lost jobs and a home, not only in my State, but in the E. C. a lot, and in the South. Thank goodness none of them had to experince what this gentlemen has had to deal with. Times if you look at it, really are tough!
Unless my business were on the verge of collapse I would continue to pay that guy even if he hardly showed up at work anymore at all. I couldn't look at myself in the mirror if I stabbed that family in the back like that.

I am very lucky I work where I do- I was diagnosed a grand total of 4 months into my career with cancer (what contracting could I possibly do?) with those 4 months of savings from an underpaid job. My coworkers and supervisors bend over backwards to help me. On the other hand, my mother's company wouldn't give her a few days off to travel across the country to be with her 23 year old daughter who could very well die before she sees 25. I've had to face cancer 100% on my own and have had to be my own caretaker. Still have 4 more long months of chemo left.
On the other hand, I am involved in the Young Adult Cancer community and have heard of dozens losing their jobs when they were diagnosed. We're talking about 22, 23, 24 year olds. Our parents aren't given time off to be with us. We aren't protected by FMLA because we haven't been working long enough or we're contracting, part time, etc etc. Many of us don't have insurance.
Hopefully sooner than later, tragedy strikes those w. no compassion for the employee here.
It will... illness, longterm unemployment and other calamities hit everyone at some point. Once these selfish conservatives are mugged by reality they will be the first people screaming for their "fair share" from the government... grabbing it with both fists as their "right" for paying into the system, unlike all of the other supposedly undeserving slobs they had to carry all of these years.

hopefully they will get some karma...like a child with terminal illness. No wonder SAW VI was popular with generation Y, lol. My students told me the main victim was a health insurance CEO
