Observations on Employment and Business Insight
Not yet, but soon, spells failure. Good judgment is mistaken for old fuggles. It is the men behind the methods that shape a business. A cost clerk hired in time aids bankruptcy courts. Many failures fund writing young men’s advice. Tickler cards cheap and certain. Less hard work and more thought would lift many from the dead level. A safe road to access is the savings bank every payday. If you dislike your job, quit and let another have a chance at it. Equity in the deal for both parties.
