TEN COMMANDMENTS.
BY THE BOSS. 1. Don’t lie—it wastes my time and yours. I’m sure to catch you in the end, and that’s the wrong end. 2. Watch your work, not the clock—a long day’s work make a long day short, and a short day’s works makes my face loif§. /l 3. Give me more than I expect and I’ll pay you more than you expect. I can afford to increase your pay if you increase my profits. 4. You owe so much to yourself that you can’t afford to owe anybody else. Keep out of debt or keep out of my *hop. | . 5. Dishonest is never an accident. Good men, like good women, can see temptation when they meet it. 6. Mind your own business, and in time you’ll have a business of your own to mind. 7. Don’t do anything here which hurts your self-respect. The employee who is willing to steal for me is capable of stealing from me. 8. It’s none of my business what you do at night, but, if dissipation affects what you do the next day, and you do half as much as I demand, you’ll last half as long as you hoped. 9. Don’t tell me what I’ll like to , hear, but what I ought to hear. I won’t want a valet to my vanity, but j I need one for my money. 10. Don’t kick if I kick. If you’re ! worth while correcting, you’re worth j while keeping. I don’t waste time J cutting spects out of rotten apples. —Author unknown.
