So glad to hear you've had good experiences. I think the point people were making earlier is that you need to be proactive in the employee/employer relationship and protect yourself. A good, respectful attitude is very helpful and the only way to be, in our opinion, but it won't protect you in this country in an employee/employer dispute and it doesn't necessarily guarantee a similar attitude from your employees. We are lucky that we have finally found a very good staff, but it took us quite some time, and we went through some less than positive experiences with people along the way, despite our good attitude.
It's no different here than anywhere, really, when it comes to hiring and firing people, except that here the laws lean toward the employee, so you need to be careful. Compared to our home state of California where employment is "at will," this is a very different environment.
