My uncle's name is Sam.

No joke.

He came and visited me a few weeks ago.

I didn't know he was president of a $600 Billion dollar bank and had over 3,000 people working for him.

I've never had much contact with him. But that might change now

Anyway, I asked him to give me some advice I could share with a collegue who has a very high turnover in his company.

Uncle Sam's words of wisdom were so simple.

He took a sip of water, neatly placed it back on the table, sighed and put his hands under his chin. He then looked at me, took a deep breath and said...

'If you do 2 things, you will keep your people. Treat them well and pay them well. Everything else is BS"

I think should make that into a bumper sticker.
