Hope your shed doesn't fall down......when those 'cheap' purlin bolts let go, nedsbug.

It wont fall down
Itll be here long after im dead
Its over engineered and over built,not like many brand name sheds that are on the thin line of structually safe and strong
You could sit a car on any part of the roof and it wont fall thru,unlike some shed places around,you cant walk on the roof

The bottom line is making money
Most fat cats dont care for workers its making money
Whats the first thing a new boss or when a company take over happens
They trim off the fat,be that a non productive worker,vehicles that sit there chewing company funds, and basically down scale the overheads
|
Well thats generally the idea of running a business....to make money!
If you owned your own business, why would you want "non productive workers" ?
Why would you want vehicles sitting around chewing company funds?
Sounds like the fat cat has it right

Fat cats employ those who for whatever reason don't want to own / run their own business, and having been a business owner myself I can think of a
few reasons why you wouldnt want to. I've never heard of anyone being employed by a poor man.
I dream of a day when a chicken can cross a road without being asked for it's motive!

There are many businesses that dont have 100 % productive workers,there are many businesses that have,lease more cars than they really need
My old place of employment had more office staff than workers on the floor, every salesperson had his own comppany car,and most of the sales team
didnt venture beyong the car park
Theres two failry major examples of trimming the fat
When they got taken over, they sacked over 50 % of office staff (top heavy busineeses dont work) and got rid of all non on the road sales teams
cars,and offered a car allownce instead
You could have 2 people who work like trojans,but 1 decides his 6 days a year sickies that dont roll over he uses every year,yet the other doesnt
The one who doesnt use up his entitled sickies could be seen as a more productive worker,his job could be seen as more secure

Any business, big or small, needs PROFIT to survive  . That is
achieved by having more money coming in, than going out......it's that simple!
Nothing to do with the TURNOVER.........It's the LEFTOVER that is important.
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

And here is another angle on what is required to make sure there are some LEFTOVERS.
from Marty Staggs on FB
“A customer is the most important visitor on our premises. He is not dependent on us. We are dependent on him. He is not an interruption in our
work. He is the purpose of it. He is not an outsider in our business. He is part of it. We are not doing him a favor by serving him. He is doing us a
favor by giving us an opportunity to do so.”

A lot of businesses in Australia have forgotten exactly that, the internet presents very good buying oportunities for a astute person looking to make
there money go further, A lot of Australian business site are apalling, do not even list the goods they are trying to sell individually, only a over
view, this is a waste of my time when i am trying to get what i need, check out the new CB performance web site to see how to sell parts on line.
