I’m thinking of starting my own company….

I've just about reached my limit, I don't understand why its so insanely difficult to just find a place that cares about their employees and listen to their concerns. Unfortunetly the size of the company doesn't matter, my company is only in the north east region with just a couple of stores and everybody knows eachother and are super friendly. I thought that maybe they'd listen when the team would say certain things aren't working when implemeted, but I guess not. I'm tired of working for people who don't care about me, so I'm starting my own. Itll be a company of just one employee (me) temporarily, but further down the line I want to hire people. I've learned about profit sharing and co-ops. I'd like to implement other things like good pay, insurence, higher increase in accrued PTO and sick days, but what about things like madatory paid time…

I'm tired of working for people who don't care about me, so I'm starting my own. Itll be a company of just one employee (me) temporarily, but further down the line I want to hire people. I've learned about profit sharing and co-ops. I'd like to implement other things like good pay, insurence, higher increase in accrued PTO and sick days, but what about things like madatory paid time off once a month for a week? Also what about leaving for the day when the work is done? I don't understand why I should stay for 8 hours if the work takes me 3 hours to complete? The company I'm running is a CPG company so, when theres an order, if it can be fulfilled in a couple of hours, people should be able to go home.

In regards to the way of pay, I know that salary would work with the idea of a couple hours per day, but what about overtime? If people want some extra bucks, I don't want to stop them too, but I don't want to incentivise overworking either. Not sure how to handle this one.

Ultimately I want my company to be a tool to fund peoples lives, not people revolving and planning their life around work.

I don't have experience running a company, I was considering looking at some european companies because they seem to have a better model when compared to the US. I'd love all feedback and ideas!
