They've treated me well over the years but, I'm also the youngest one here. That is, the only one not close to retirement, so I know when the time comes, I'll be affected the most by the changes. Yeah, my boss is a very interesting person with a ton of history. He literally grew up on a farm when they only had draft horses to plow their fields. I love to hear him talk about his childhood. |
Shelly is their anyone that plans on buying the business from him when he retires, does he have children. I would assume that at his age there must be some talk by him on what the future holds, if this is a profitable business with solid customer base it might be worthwhile looking into buying it. I have seen that happen a lot either one employee or several buy the company they are working for. The man that owns the main company that I rep is in his late 70's and not in the best of health but his daughter is now the "official" owner, he transferred the company to her but he still runs the show, but at least I know it will not fold if he can no longer work.
