Several years ago my wife developed a chronic illness. (Think Lyme disease with a lot of complications)
She could no longer work. She couldn’t walk. Her hair was falling out. No treatment. No diagnosis. It was a nightmare.
And… in that situation, while we were paying tens of thousands of dollars in out of pocket medical expenses, she slowly built a business. Im not going to detail what the business is, because I will get a bunch of DMs from people looking for work…
Anyway…
It’s freelance work, working from home, and she puts in 20-30 hours a week.
She just hired 3 people to work for her and will bring on a 4th. Demand for her services seems strong.
Okay…
Suddenly, we have a business and people work for us.
So…. Now what? Politically I’m a socialist, but live in a capitalist society.
Ideas so far:
-we are looking to hire other people with disabilities. One of the new hires is somewhat autistic. Great.
-We are paying the more than what people asked for.
- we lost as a policy that we don’t want anyone responding to emails outside of business hours or on weekends.
what else should be our policy?
