We want everyone to feel happy and want to carry on their hard work in the company so we just gave everyone pay rises and bought them CNY gifts. But an employee said that we need to give them their end of year bonuses and inferred that i didn't understand because i was not Chinese. Our decision had been made with the Chinese business partner, as they were all receiving pay rises. But this employee feels that we have somehow cheated her out of what is rightfully hers. God! What should we do? We have been open a little over a year and are barely breaking even. Any advice? I am experiencing the same thing as you.

I didn't even do that on purpose for SEO, I just kept picking the most relevant themes of each post. Hopefully someone can benefit by reading this..... Yea, well as you know me, I'm not doing this for the SHORT TERM money. And I want to keep staff happy. Aiya. I'm constantly told by Jojo that I'm not a sensible businessman and that I shouldn't be a boss I DONT WANT TO BE A BOSS. I want to be a business owner. I think its different, just still have to do the managing myself - thought I had found others to manage the business, but I realized, no one can manage my business better then myself......that way I can't blame anyone. hey dave,

Fitting :). O! the giving out of all that money isn't something I'd file under the positives for holidays from the companies perspective either.
