This is why I enjoy working in a family business (General Contracting) and they have returned my loyalty by standing with me through all of my health problems. I had worked many 7 day, 16 hour day/24 hour shifts weeks and holidays (3 years straight with no day off) because I saw the need. I may make less overall but the lack of stress from layoffs, cutbacks, outsourcing, etc. does not haunt me. It is not always easy, times are very hard jobwise right now, but the small business model does work well.

And they let me take time each day to ride or stop by the LBS!!!!!!!!!

Ride Safe and Ride Lots,
Bill
