Yeah, I don't see the trust thing the way most people do either. If you can't tell whether your getting your money's worth out of your employee based on what they actually produce rather than how many hours they sit in a chair, you've got bigger problems.
Give employee money, employee gives you results. If either of you think there's too much or too little money or results, renegotiate or part ways. Sounds just awful, right?
