Business doesnt have any sympathy. if a company needs £2 million of cargo delivered and it doesnt get there on time. they cancel, they sue for damages and they dont use that company again. the entrepreneur/the boss is left footing the bills, the compensation claims, the insurance, the wages, the lost contracts and the massive overdrafts?
you can vet as much as you like and yes of course vetting is crucial I agree. But people dont exist on paper, they exist in reality. in a nation of binge drinkers, the work ethic and consistent reliable behaviour falls and this has enormous impact on business and business bosses. the attitude thats built in recent years is to hate rich people. but theres a massive difference between a multi millionaire overpaid footballer and a person trying to start his/her own business to create wealth and jobs. people who start businesses should get massive support. sadly they get nothing , no support whatsoever, then if people think they are successful , they get jealousy and workers trying to rip them off and take advantage. very few understand or even begin to empathise with the pressure of an entrepreneur starting a business in this country

Again you have lost me in a maze of bizarre hypotheticals...
What about the 1000's of employees that go above and beyond for the companies they work for?...Working unpaid overtime, working on days off, bending over backwards to get orders filled....What of those?
Where you have got this idea the the rich are hated is beyond me too, people who make money by exploiting vulnerable people for example wonga.com charging 4000% interest for unsecured loans to the poorest members of society
that is loathsome and morally corrupt.
But the chairman writes employment policies and donates to the conservative party so its ok.
I am well aware there is a difference between a millionaire businessman and a footballer...Why you threw that in the mix is beyond me.
People usually only react badly to employers if they feel they are being exploited, undervalued, overworked, discriminated against or pressured, it works both ways if you want your workforce to respect you
you must respect them.
I can empathise with entrepreneurs in this country, I can also empathise with the millions of decent, honest, hardworking unemployed people crying out for a full time permanant job with a living wage to support their families!
