Taking over my family cleaning company and I want us to hire one person more than we need, vs the bare minimum # of people. I also want to pay them 18 instead of the 17 we currently do.
This will result in at least 1 but maybe 3 months where my family barely makes any profit, but I argue if they and we just tighten up the hatches for that small period of time, use our comfortably sized nest egg, then we can have a team thats stable for more than 3 months at a time AND we can finally grow by being able to aggressively pursue new clients
My family’s very against this and thinks I’m a naive socialist, basically. I’m a little out of arguments
Lots of good suggestions. Maybe you can hire the extra person first and see if that pans out. If it doesn’t then you’ll have to lay them off or just not rehire if they leave at the end of the following year. Small risk for moderate gain
