The Self-employed Employer By David Leonhardt

It's that time of year again, when all Canadians rush to their mailboxes, their corner stores or their neighbor's houses to readrepparttar latest edition of Maclean's Magazine.

For those who don't know it, Maclean's isrepparttar 116652 Canadian equivalent of Time or Newsweek, andrepparttar 116653 time of year isrepparttar 116654 annual Top 100 Employers report –repparttar 116655 employers who issue more than just a paycheck (although right now a paycheck would be quite a treat!)

Beingrepparttar 116656 frugal shopper that I am, I shunnedrepparttar 116657 mailbox andrepparttar 116658 corner store – no loss, we don't have a corner store in this hamlet – and headed right over to my neighbor's log cabin high up onrepparttar 116659 summit of Mount Okabingbong.

"OK, Happy Guy, what now?" came his usual warm greeting. "No, wait. Let me guess. It'srepparttar 116660 Maclean's 100 Top Employers edition, right?"

"Right."

"And you want to check if your employer is onrepparttar 116661 list this year, right?" he continued.

"Right."

"And you'll be disappointed that your employer didn't make it onrepparttar 116662 list, again, right?" he asked.

"Right. Oh..."

"Happy Guy, you are a self-employed hermit. You don't have an employer," Mountain Neighbor said.

"Yes I do. Me. I am my employer, and a mighty good one at that."

"What makes you think you would be good enough to qualify?" he asked.

"It says right here that they want employers who don't just to woorepparttar 116663 best employees, but work to keep them."

"If I were you, I would just fire all your employees," Mountain Neighbor remarked.

I ignoredrepparttar 116664 sarcasm. "Look at what makes these guys a top employer. They have an on-site fitness facility. Well, I exercise on-site, too."

"So you do," he agreed.

"And this employer offers a profit-sharing plan. Well, I do that."

"But don't you have to make a profit first to have a profit-sharing plan?" Mountain Neighbor asked.
