They are never the cheapest, but if you hire the cheapest you get to follow them around and add a job of micromanaging to your list of daily activities.CEO's of multi million dollar companies golf 3 times a week, shop for cars mid day, get suits tailored, hop a jet to fly fish, have perfect haircuts every week, volunteer at a shelter passing out food, get photo ops and make company motivational videos.
