   I have a lot of sympathy for the small business entrepreneur who
struggles to get a company running, often risking everything he has in the
process, and ends up working long hours, spending most of his time finding
work for reluctant employees and servicing the inland revenue, social
services, health and safety, etc, etc.
   On the other hand, some employers just try to extract every last drop of
blood, sweat, and tears, at the minimum possible cost. This happens too
often after a company has been sold, when the new owner is only interested
in a company as an investment.
