>Unless he managed to convince you that he was actually helping. Eh, in smaller companies, the truth usually comes out sooner rather than later. If the owner doesn't recognize the problem fast enough, the company dies. That, and as the owner, I'm very directly concerned with the health of the company, and I'm involved with day to day operations. In a publicly traded company, the people who are directly concerned with the health of the company at best come to a meeting once a year. Yeah, you can pay other people to look out for your interests, and sometimes that's even a good idea. But you are a fool if you think those people will put your interests above their own. I'm trying to say that as the owner, you'd have to fool me. Possible, sure. But I'm going to work damn hard to prevent you from doing so. In a public company, however, you don't need to fool your bosses; you just need to convince them that supporting you furthers their own goals better than firing you would.
