Get Your Money's Worth
When you hire an employee
there are four things you expect
of him. First, you expect him to
be honest, because he is handling
your money, which, in this day of
declining profits, is hard to earn.
Second, you expect him to have
ability, because, although a man
may be honest, he cannet earn his
salary if be lacks ability. Third,
you demand and expect accuracy;
for an employee may be ever so
honest and have great ability, but
if he is inacourate, his honesty and
ability count for nothing. Fourth,
you expect an employee to be in
dustrious; in other words, to work.
A man may be honest, have ability
and be accurate, but if he is not
willing to come into your store
and give you a good day’s work, he
is not earning his salary.—Picked
