    if i worked for a person like this i'd quit before the bastard could fire me. i'd then (in my fantacies) burn his home(s) to the ground, dump shit & urine into his swimming pool(s), & finally i'd like to fart or shit on his thigh in a very packed elevator at his place of business... stainy brown strikes again you piece of shit!

    I don't think business is happy.

    I haven't seen money come in since the election ...
    just a trickle check...
    customers who paid within 30 days are going past due
    60 days approaching 75.
    I in turn can't release over 25 checks I've written and I'm getting calls.
    Hope this is just a post shockwave cause when people worry they keep their money
    close and do not spend or pay down payables.

    And what's up with the stock market?

    I find it hilarious that John Schnatter (aka Papa John, one of the biggest D-bags I ever met) is using this as an excuse. I worked for Papa John's, and met the man, and saw the shady crap that went on there that was corporate policy. It was actually corporate policy for managers to make up BS incidents on employee evaluations (on the grunt level, drivers, hourly employees, etc) so as to not give them raises and so there would be documentation to fire people so they could not collect unemployment.

    too fucking funny, people defending this idiot that politicizes his decision to to layoff workers and then proudly announces it. any respectable person who has ever owned a company that has dealt w/layoffs feels a sense of shame w/that decision. and blaming obama for your DSO, get a better AR person or just keep blaming obama as your business plunges into bankruptcy.

    if the market stays rocky, you have a choice, short it or go defensive in your positions. i laugh my ass off at all the people crying about this or that instead of looking within to make their situations better.

    and p.s. if your a small business owner w/< 25 employees you will get a tax credit of up to 50% by next year on your medical costs. now that's some fucking change my business can believe in. :D

    Business is business and of course no owner wants to lay people off but we do to keep
    a job for some when times get tough.

    When an owner is forced to lay off due to questionable government policy
    that is another story and speaking up about that is necessary,
    that is certainly not proudly announcing but do you see it as such because
    you favor Obama?

    If a business owner can't afford health insurance at all for their employees
    50% is no help at all.

    If you have to let some go to just afford it that is no help to the business owner
    nor the employee not to mention the government who is feeding another unemployed person.

    If you have to put workers on part time to avoid the expense that is no help to the employee
    his paycheck was just cut in half, something most people these days can not survive.
    So they will seek another part time job. No health plan forthcoming.

    If you do not hire and use the services of other businesses instead that does not help
    those unemployed looking for work. They have no job, no health plan
    and are getting fed by the government.

    And finally the tactics some business owners will be doing will be to avoid bankruptcy
    because indeed policies made are not bringing the economy back at any rate worth noticing,
    and lots of companies are in serious trouble and can not survive another hit.

    my advice to you sir/madam is to hire better sales people or change your business model. if your business is that impacted by federal gvt, you got's problems.

    i will go a step further, in 2006, the state of texas changed it's franchise tax codes and basically tripled my company's tax obligation, thanks rick perry for signing that into law! did i sit around and post on pearl jam message boards about big bad rick perry and the awful government? fk no, sell more, manage expenses better and voila, we came out on the other side. did we take a hit? yes, but complaining and making excuses for my company was not an alternative for me.

    i wish you and your company well, i really do. american right now is loaded w/opportunity...

    Business owners can always improve their business.
    Ours relies heavily on the economy as many do.

    Our strategy has been to lower overhead fixed costs,
    invest in new technology and network to increase sales.
    Our business does not require sales people as our customer base
    is solid and we rely on brokers and other printing companies for overflow work
    and services they can not do for themselves.

    Saying the economy is bad is an understatement. We watched many printing companies close
    in our 20 years mostly based on just that, the poor economy.
    Taxes are just one aspect that can hit a company when they are down.

    This healthcare policy of Obamas is also hitting companies
    and we see the effects that will have on growth and employment.

    Hey thanks I wish your company much luck as well. As hard as it has been
    building your own owning your own is the way to go....
    being humbled, thanking your lucky stars and appreciating what we have
    is in order.
