RE: [OT] Cracking down on CEO salaries
Things that have happened to me: Change in marketing director, he brings in his own people and we stop getting work. A year later owner calls us to take over botched job, tells us that we need to learn their new system on our own time, unpaid, then bill us for just the time it takes to fix their system. We tell them to go pound sand. Owner's retarded brother-in-law gets fired from his job, owner gives our contract to brother-in-law. Owner swears I'm not returning his calls and emails even though I swear to him he must be calling someone else because I'm not getting any of his calls or emails. He stops giving me work because I'm unresponsive. I think this guy may have been going senile. ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

RE: [OT] Cracking down on CEO salaries
Customers still do stick with you if you do good work and provide good service for them. Tomorrow, I'm going to a client that I first did work for in July, 1982. His business keeps growing and he keeps calling me back. First I developed an app with GW-BASIC, then FoxBase, then Visual FoxPro 3, 5 and now 9. At one point, he even lent me money during one of my drought periods. Today I'm going to a client that I've had since October, 1999. We started off in the wrong direction early on, but turned it around. Since then, we've always tried to develop the best system for their needs and nothing more. Sometimes I've suggested things that resulted in less money for us. Maybe that's part of why they stick with us. Next week I'm off to see a client that I've had since May 1990. Their sales were $5 million. By Feb, 2006, their sales were over $200 million. They were bought by a publicly traded company last year for $485 million. While there is more bureaucracy with the now public company, they still stick with me. There are other long time clients that continue to stick with us But then that maybe only a result of the Canadian business climate. Only in Canada you say?

Re: [OT] Cracking down on CEO salaries
I also think it's a chicken and egg thing. I think the time when customers used to stick with one business because the service was that good, is long gone. I have one auto dealership that I buy from. Their service is unbelievably good. I'm willing to pay more for their cars to have that service, even if their car prices are good anyway. I have one bank that I'm going to consolidate all my accounts into because their service is that good. --- Pete Theisen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Wednesday 17 January 2007 12:03 pm, Michael > Madigan wrote: > > However, I've seen that the most > > successful companies are the ones that treat their > > employees like crap. > > Hi Michael! > > What?
