LeftyHenry said:But do you see how unfair it is? Peter gets paid millions because he 'organizes' the Pauls. Paul get paid 25k because he works in poor conditions doing the dirty work. What??? Why not organize yourself and get Peter's money. After what is he really doing except leeching off of you?
The last Peter I worked for paid for me to go to school to learn my trade. He then spent numerous hours over the course of a year, which drastically slowed him down, teaching me the finer points of how to do the job right.
And, in the end, patted me on the back when I left him to begin working on my own in the same field.
He doesn't consider me a competitor, rather a person that he helped to get out of the rut.
No, I don't harbor him any ill will at all. He has since taken three people to replace me, and still complains that they cannot match what I could do.
We are friends, and stay that way, in spite of our current financial differences.
Compassionate and helpful people are not limited to just the poor, nor the rich. They cross all boundaries, and I begrudge no one that works hard to get ahead the fruits of their labor.
