18. Time to find a new job...
Sun Nov 4, 2012, 06:22 PM
Nov 2012

Not only because of this threat, but these employees have no control over who wins the election. they can only cast one vote, and that isn't going to swing the tally and save their jobs. This business owner is stupid enough there probably isn't much of a future with the company anyway.

What next? Will he threaten to clean house if the Rays have a bad season? What if it rains on his vacation, is that a reason to lay off his employees?

Find a new job with a mentally stable employer.
