This is the first time I have people who work for me. It is the next step in my evolution. They are from a country everyone learns English as a second language in school. There is a slight barrier, since they take figures of speech literally. The solutions I've found through trial and error...

Let's talk health benefits for employees. We have 4 employees >30 hours a week and 4 part time staff. We'd like to extend a health care stipend, and it looked like a QSEHRA was the best way to do it. It lets us extend the same amount (i.e. $200 a month) to every employee to reimburse for any...

DISCLAIMER: This is not intended to be a rag-fest on employees, or a wider economic debate about class warfare, it's simple observations intended to help others avoid traumatic events. Most employees you have will be decent people. Unfortunately, it's the 1% of lunatics that you have to protect...

Would love to hear everyone's thoughts on interviewing, hiring, and managing a virtual team to scale. The solopreneur style works great, but there comes to a point where you need to hire additional help to scale the company. For those of you with a team of hourly freelancers/virtual employees...
