Being the boss is a thankless job. You can try your best to do all you can possibly do for your employees but there will always be some rotten apples that spoil it all.
If you are lucky, you can launch them. If they are key players that are hard to replace quickly, it's even worse.
No one has any idea how hard you work or how much you sacrifice to try to make your endeavor work.
No one, except you and your (long suffering) spouse.
Your employees think you are rolling around in mountains of cash
and living a lavish lifestyle
while they toil away endlessly at the salt mines.
They think they deserve more money even though they don't do any more work or are too lazy to put together some kind of presentation to show you what they have done to make things more efficient or to save money or even make more money.
But NOOOOOOOOOOOO.
YOU are supposed to cater to them.
THEY have it so bad.
Perhaps they have forgotten that the economy is bad right now and having a job is a REALLY GOOD THING, especially if it comes with health insurance.
Whiners.
Babies.
C-I-L-L them all.
But hang in there.
I feel your pain.
You're gonna go out there and grab the world by the tail and wrap it around and pull it down and put it in your pocket.
