One of my best friends in Vegas works for a locally owned landscaping company and has had a really great relationship with the owner, he had a lot of personal and legal troubles a while back and the boss really bent over backwards for him to help when he really didn’t have to. The company also does profit sharing with everyone and had been a really inclusive and wonderful workplace… until recently. The owner decided that because of all the growth they were experiencing that he really wanted the company to expand even more and hired an HR busybody to make sure that the company starts to go down a more “corporate” road, my friend has been written up multiple times for BS he didn’t do and he’s single handedly bringing in the most profit and sales the company has ever gotten.
I keep trying to convince my friend to start his own business, he’s the kind of guy that could do it but so far he hasn’t entertained it. If he did i would quit my job, move back to Vegas and work for him in a heartbeat. He’s the kind of guy i would trust my life with.
