i have never seen so many people terrified of a working environment, as i’ve seen over the past month with employees sent home to work. firm leaders are panicked about productivity and work ethic, which i find hilarious because you are essentially saying that you don’t trust your employees. you don’t trust them to do the same job at home because you aren’t there to monitor their every move. if you don’t trust your employees, why did you hire them in the first place?!

and 15 things every accountant should consider in these unprecedented times.

by bill penczak

my friend tom kallman, the president of a trade show company in new jersey, sent me an email a few weeks ago that i’ll paraphrase:

few, if any, of us lived through pearl harbor. some of us experienced the kennedy assassination. we all recall where we were when the planes struck the world trade center. the covid crisis is another lifetime moment. we learned how to survive all those other events, and we’ll do the same again.
