| Feb 6, 2019 at 4:55 | comment | added | takintoolong | @B1313 your highly rated comment should be quoted profusely in the working world..."You treat every employee with respect if you want to have a successful business. Your employees are your business. A janitor commands the same respect as the CEO" | |

If there is a discrepancy of 5 cents, and someone in HR seems to not give a **** about it, then Bill in accounting will see that as utter disrespect for himself and his profession and as a personal insult. | |
| Feb 24, 2016 at 17:48 | comment | added | TOOGAM | @B1313 : If I say "ladies and gentlemen, and children of all ages", people understand that means "everyone". If I say, "every living soul" (or "all living souls"), people understand that means "everyone". And if a company does the right thing (pays right and values rightly), then "highly paid and highly valued" employees means "every employee". You are assuming a company doesn't do the right thing when you imply that "highly paid and highly valued" employees is different than "every employee", and tried to correct a person who uses the former phrase. Why assume wrongdoing? Hope ya "follow" | |
| Feb 24, 2016 at 11:45 | comment | added | G.T.D. | @Toogam I am not sure I follow. Mine states there is none. Just because someone makes more money and holds a different title doesn't make anyone else less important. The answerer made it seem like only highly paid employees are highly valued when in reality they are equal to a Janitor in importance. If that made sense | |
| Feb 24, 2016 at 6:31 | comment | added | TOOGAM | @B1313 : Why is your earlier comment assuming that there is a difference between "highly paid and highly valued" employees, and "every employee"? | |
| Feb 23, 2016 at 2:22 | comment | added | teambob | From an employees perspective here is what he may be thinking: is this company short of money and close to going broke? Is this company so bureaucratic that I can't even get $20 reimbursed - what happens when I have to do some real work? | |
| Feb 22, 2016 at 9:27 | comment | added | David Z | @B1313 (first comment) of course that's true, but I read "highly paid and highly valued" here as a descriptor used only for emphasis - that is, it's implicitly saying "you treat your employees with respect because you clearly believe they deserve it, given that they are highly paid and highly valued". I didn't think it was trying to distinguish between this employee and others who are not highly paid and/or not highly valued. | |
| Feb 21, 2016 at 21:58 | comment | added | G.T.D. | @gnasher729 Not sure where that factors into the conversation/question, but sort of. IF the new employee is a CFO this might have more context but if he is not then I fail to see the connection. | |
| Feb 21, 2016 at 21:48 | comment | added | gnasher729 | If the employee is related to accounting, or finances, then they would expext that all financial dealings must be one hundred percent correct. And if they had a hotel bill for $160.05 and you reimbursed $160.00 then an accountant would be very, very unhappy with that. | |
| Feb 21, 2016 at 21:08 | comment | added | Telastyn | @b1313 - excellent point. I was trying to emphasize that actions need to match words (and paychecks), but could have done that better. | |
| Feb 21, 2016 at 19:04 | comment | added | G.T.D. | I agree with your answer except for the "you treat your highly paid and highly valued employee with respect." - You treat every employee with respect if you want to have a successful business. Your employees are your business. A janitor commands the same respect as the CEO. | |
