How to Give Your Workers An Instant Raise

Random Musings Header

Can anyone tell the oil companies that they are killing this country?  Yes, I know they have a justification for how their huge profit is in no way related to the quickly rising fuel prices… but I just don’t buy it.  Somewhere, someone is jacking up the prices at our expense.   But that’s not what I was going to post.

What I did want to post was a good way to give your employees an instant raise.  Well, that is if you have employees.   I was noticing that I spend $40-50 a week driving in to work – and that is with me working from 9 to 6 to miss the rush hour (on purpose – gotta do what I can to save money).  At least haf of those days I sit at a computer and don’t have any meetings.  I could look at saving almost half of what I spend on driving if I just worked from home for 2 days a week.

Please realize that I hate working from home.  Its just boring to me.  But gas prices are getting killer.   So, if I was allowed to work from home on a regular basis, I could see about – what – an extra $100 or so freed up?  Well, that would probably go straight in to rising food costs.  But at least it would be something.

Just an idea….
