Competitors Formerly Known As Your Employees

September 16th, 2007

We, who are your lowly employees feel the time has come to tell you that every Thursday we have been meeting, as a group, to devise ways to keep you in perpetual uncertainty, frustration, discontent and torture by neither listening to you as much as you want, nor quitting you without notice.

Your CPA is in on it, plus all your key suppliers and your ex-partner; and we have agreed to disappoint you and your customers as long as you "boss" us without leading us.
In letting you in on our Thursday meetings we realize we have placed in your hands a possible antidote to your frustration and indeed to your loss of customers. But since our Thursday nights
have united us with entrepreneurial spirit and ambition with you as the heart of our motivation, we feel hopeful you will continue to make unreasonable demands on all of us while we discover our own brand and seek financing to launch our own business.

This bit of blog poetry was inspired by the real life employees who have become brand owners of their own ventures having learned what to do and not do under the many "bad bosses" we all have known.
