No offense but consider this...........

You are asking for opinions about how you treat your employees and run
your company from a bunch of folks you have never met, know nothing
about and at a boating NG.

Wow.

You are severely underestimating the capabilities of this group.
We're a bunch of regular guys, and gave him good advice.
Maybe he should hire a labor relations consulting firm for the answer?
Hire a lawyer?
No. *He caught us sober, and it paid off for him.
Boaters give good advice, because they're good folks.
