How infiltrated is the business world by family mf'ing values?

49. My employees are to never give their cell phone #'s to clients.

I have their emails covered when they leave. No phone # means they also get no texts. When they are gone everyone in the office chips in to cover their work. Sounds like you work in a pretty shitty place. I can do without any one of my employees for a week. I would be a pretty shitty business owner if I couldn't. Sounds like that is the type of owner you work for. I am a member of a business networking group and how you describe is not how most of them operate either.

When you say "no such thing," it is directed toward your situation, not everyone's or most.

I do agree with "If they can do without me for a week, they can do without me forever." Any employee at my business can walk out and I will be just fine. I wouldn't want that as I have hired extremely competent people with great ethics. That doesn't mean it wouldn't be business as usual if one just walked out. My newest employee has been with me for years. That doesn't include the guy who went to college and came back to work for me a couple of months ago after receiving his degree. I consider him to be a twelve year employee and I supported him during the two years he was gone.
