Worthless Piece of Paper

Hey Kids, for today’s TommyLog I want to share with you whats it’s like to find out your efforts are worth nothing. Today I received my final ESOP, Employee Stock Option Plan, share information in the mail from my 4 year stint at HC Miller.

What is an ESOP yo ask, well you can either Google it or keep reading. An ESOP is unlike corporations where the profits benefit shareholders, the profits in an ESOP benefit the employee shareholders. Well I was wooed away from my 14 year position at Banta / RR Donnelley to help build something great at Miller.

Well without getting too dirty, things were a lot better on paper than it appeared. Some people got millions and as you can see, I got zero. I sure met some of the GREATEST people i have ever met and worked with, but at the end of it all, as far as building up the Clifford retirement empire, I got zero.

I trusted the wrong people –

DON’T TRUST  THE WRONG PEOPLE!

TommyLog – Being Trustworthy

What does it mean to trust somebody? What does it mean to be trustworthy? We all know people were not trustworthy and can’t be trusted.  It seems to be a lot harder to tell a lie that it is to tell the truth. When you tell a lie, you have to work extra hard covering up your tracks to hide your deceit.

When you are truthful person people know when you lie, your lie spreads like an infection.   People do not want to be around others who do not tell the truth. Honesty is the core of life and people who were not honest, It will come back to haunt you!  That I can promise you.  Surround yourself with people you can trust. Trust for the people are your only way to success.

I’ve Been Lied To!

I have been lied to. I don’t take this lightly. I give out my trust easy but once it’s broken, IT’S OVER!!! Anyone remember the scene in Heat where Robert DeNiro is talking to a guy who lied to him and he told him he was “talking to an empty telephone.”  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOtaiiFJ1Wc

That’s how I feel now. I’ve been deceived, I’ve been hurt all because, I have been lied to.

I thought they were my friends, I thought they were looking out for my family…

lies

lies

lies!

Please just leave my life as fast as possible.

It’s all about Trust

Trust is one thing that takes years to build and seconds to be dashed. Take the BP Oil spill for instance. Years of BP trust and loyalty are killed in a matter of moments. Why is the 99 good things replaced by 1 bad thing. Trust can be killed in an instant. Rememeber that kids!
