The Man

I recieved a form letter this week from the company president asking if I, as a paramedic and company employee, was interested in buying a share of the company. Paramedics can invest from $2,500 to $5,000. The letter was more an inquiry of interest than a firm offer.

I don't know whether it is a good investment or not. But I like the idea of employee ownership. That's why I bought a hundred shares of our company's previous owner when the shares were selling at .73 cents a share. Today that stock is worthless, but what the hay. I'm a believer.

Instead of working for the Man, I can be the Man. Or so I can tell myself.
