Quote:And it almost sounds like he is calling him "anti-union" because his employees are so well treated they have no interest in a union.

Employers that practise "enlightened self-intrest" will many times have no problems if their employees choose to organize.

In many cases the employees see no advantage to organizing because their employer has created an environment that is

exciting and rewarding to work for and they and their families needs and benefits are covered.

 

Then there are other employers that look upon employees as revenue streams.

What has been forgotten is that you can run a company with one shareholder, but most companies can't be run with one employee.

I will stop here.

 

 

Everything I have read about Shad's business style is that his folks are well compensated, great work environment, management realizes that sometimes family matters get in the way and allow time to take care of them, health, current, future benefits are well above average and reasonable.

 

That said. Shad is very capable of putting 48hr's of work in a 24hr day and expects his folks to be productive.

 

I have two neighbors that have worked for the Jaguar Organization during both owners tenure's.

They speak well of both and are enjoying the sense of excitement and urgency that has bloomed at the Bank.

They both are working more hours and love it.  The senior of the two was passing thru Atlanta airport with a affinity group tour

and was stopped from behind by Tom Coughlin. Tom asked him and his wife how were the children and grandchildren and they reciprocated.

The traveling group was astounded that TC would spend time with senior and chat, Senior's response was that TC was a good person

first and foremost. After reflecting on this story, he responded..... Just like Shad.

 

We are very fortunate here in JAX and I look forward with Pride and excitement.
