55/ I always insist that my people get paid. I've had situations where a laborer stacks lumber in location X not Y, where I asked. ...because of honest miscommunication. And he's said "oh, knock those two hours off my bill". And I refuse. "No, man. You worked. You get paid."

56/ If I'm sitting inside at the keyboard in the AC and some poor bastard is working in 90 degree weather, an honest mistake is no reason to short him. WORK GETS PAID. YOU ALWAYS PAY YOUR PEOPLE. ...AND YOU PAY THEM FIRST.

57/ I ran a firm for 15 years. My people got paid every two weeks, like clockwork. I skipped paychecks. My people never did. When someone is good enough to do work for you, you bend heaven and earth to pay them. ...and if you can't, you don't accept the labor.

58/ So if farmhand had said a fair price, I would have paid him that. If he said "free", I would have refused, and offered a fair price. If (as he did) he said 4x fair price, I would refuse.

61/ And we get into an interesting space: a friend who I've NEVER employed? I'd take the favor from him. ...but a history of employment, and a task in a similar space? Gotta pay for that labor.https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/960564864157671424 …

62/ If you have friends help you paint your living room, you can "pay" them in pizza. ...but if you've got a friend who paints for a living, and he helps, you gotta pay him either in cash or in trade.

63/ No. I had misgivings. ("she's not going to be able to pull this off...but MAYBE she can rise to the occasion ?") Never thought the loss could be greater than the initial gift. I was wrong.https://twitter.com/GregM410/status/960571639392948225 …

64/ So I see that I'm picking up a lot of new followers today because of this "business ethics" thread. If you like ethics, morality, prudence, pragmatism, etc., and also like rip-roaring science fiction, you might enjoy my novel People say it's good. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005JPPMS6 pic.twitter.com/5DNKWqIIpe

65/ (That's not to say that this is a boring novel of business ethnics. It's an exciting novel with gun fights, swarms of drones, nuclear explosions, anti-gravity, snipers, AI, uplifted dogs, and very very big guns.)
