Americas Forgotten People

If you happen to be rich, CEO of a major company or even someone that owns their own business, I want you to know that you have people employed in your company that are part of a group that's called Americas forgotten people. I know to many of you, you may wonder how can I make such a bold statement? Well if you or your company is making millions and giving yourself all the profits, then you have forgotten about the very people that help you become rich or profitable. I see these people all the time and I also work at a company that treats their employees the same way. When I took business management in college, my Professor had a perfect analogy when it came to business. He would say class," business is just like a tree, without its roots there is no way that it can grow". He would also say when times are ruff its easy to trim the top, because eventually it will grow back. But if you do anything to the roots, remove any of them, in time your tree will either die or fade away. What this means in real world terms, your business is only good as the people you employ. If you forget about them, cut them back in anyway, then you will have unhappy,unproductive workers, especially if you just take profits and enrich yourself. Yes, the business may be yours and your ideal alone, but without your dedicated employees there would be no way your business would thrive. They are the roots of your company, America's forgotten people. These people complain everyday, about their pay checks, their benefits' being cut and the lack of acknowledgment from their superiors. In most American companies today the top brass or CEO's are the ones being rewarded for the company's success. If a business owner wants their business to last for years to come, they must adopt the same strategy as a farmer. Any good farmer knows that if he waters his crop and feeds it properly, it will produce enough fruit for years to come. The same can be said of a good business owner, if he treats his employees with respect, rewards them for their hard work and keeps them happy. Not only will his company thrive and make profits for years to come, it will earn the respect that so few get today. If you happen to be a owner or just starting your own business never forget the people that work with you or work for your company everyday. They are the roots of your company and without proper care your company will have unproductive, unhappy people working for you or they(Good and talented people) will leave for greener pastors. It makes good business sense to reward the people in the trenches, the people that helped your business become a success.
Have a great day,
