constantly about how hard it was to find and keep employees who viewed working there as a "career" (vs. "just a job") and who cared about the business, gave it their best effort, etc.
They had only one year that they didn't make a substantial amount of money (e.g., multiple hundreds of thousands to more than a million) as long as I knew them, according to their own reports.
I introduced them to a very bright and conscientious college graduate who was sick of dealing with people as a manager, and wanted to move back into an accounting type of position. She was very excited because they had an opening that suited her. Why didn't it work out? Because they refused to pay more than what today would probably be about $13 per hour.
I no longer sympathized with them after that.
