Ya know I ran a business for 25 years in VA ,and one day some jerk decided he had an oppurtunity to sue me .During the trial each of my 25 employees had depositions taken from them and some were called at the trial to testify since they were on duty during the supposed incident .I doubted that I would come out of it unscathed since they all had a chance to “get even” if they had a gripe about anything I wasent aware of and the opposition had TWO LAWYERS very skilled at word smithing and concocting scenerario that never happened .One of the Lawyers was planning to retire after this trial so it was his last Harrah ! One by one witnesses were called each spoke her version as she saw it .At the end of the trial the JUDGE dismissed everything .My two Lawyers said to me “you must have been very good to your employees ” they backed you 100 % .. It was the biggest lesson in Humility I ever had ! They had a chance to “get the BOSS ” if they wanted to but to a person they backed me 100 % .In one day 25 years of my effort to run the business “right” was repaid by thier Loyalty ! I dont think I can stand more of that ..(My wife has a different view ).
