How does anything get done in this country?

A recent survey by consulting firm  George S. May International Co. concluded that 41% of small business owners pay employees to “just show up.”

“Too many small businesses still reward employees for just showing up, for being a warm body every day,” said Paul Rauseo, managing director of George S. May International.

The firm also reports that 45% of small business owners say that are not profitable, too. Go figure.
