Ten demanbments
Here are "Ten Demandments By The Boss" that should be of
interest to all who have bosses:
Rule I — Don't lie — it wastes my time and yours. I'm sure to
catch you in the end, and that's the wrong end.
Rule II — Watch your work, not the clock. A long day's work
makes a long day short, and a short day's work makes my
face long.
Rule III — Give me more than I expect and I'll pay you more
than you expect. I can afford to increase your pay if you in
crease my profits.
Rule IV — You owe so much to yourself that you can't
afford to owe anybody else. Keep out of debt or keep out of
my shop.
RuleV — Dishonesty is never an accident. Good men, like
good women, can see temptation when they meet it.
Rule VI — Mind your own business and in time you'll have a
business of your own to mind.
Rule VII — Don't do anything here which hurts your self-
respect. The employee who is willing to steal for me is capa
ble of stealing from me.
Rule VIII — It's none of my business what you do at night.
But if dissipation affects what you do the next day, and you
do half as much as I demand, you'll last half as long as you
hoped.
Rule IX - Don't tell me what I'd like to hear, but what I
ought to hear. I don't want a valet to my vanity, but I need
one for my money.
Rule X — Don't kick if I kick — if you're worthwhile correct
ing you're worthwhile keeping. I don't waste time cutting
specks out of rotten apples.
