I don’t know who would dislike a story of hard work urgently forming a sustainable business during a series of black swan economic impacts and saving so many (now) higher paid jobs in the process! Perhaps people whose opinions you oughtn’t concern yourself with anyway?
- BearFunds 4y agoAppreciate it sincerely. I was describing the project to an (admittedly very young) former colleague who I wanted to hire on to do our social media. She told me I was hollowing out the middle class with my overpriced muffins. Had another tell me I was "destroying third spaces" in under-served neighborhoods when I described the renovations and shutdowns.
- jmccaf 4y agoWhat you described sounds much better than one of the default alternatives, which is : the business would be closed with 0 locations.
- im3w1l 4y agoTrying to put myself in their shoes, I think what they would have wanted is a zoning law requiring the business there to provide a third space. Landlords would have then be forced to lower the rent until it became profitable to run a bakery-cafe or similar.
