Even commercial tenants bail.

The Creditors’ Resource offers some advice for landlords when commercial tenants file bankruptcy.

While I’m not totally convinced that the U.S. economy has tanked, commercial bankruptcies certainly do happen and a prudent commercial landlord is smart to accept this fact - as always, preparation is key.

The thieves among us.

Gasp! Theft occurs in the workplace? Surely not! Oh, it’s sad but true - not all employees are honest and sticky fingers while on the clock often pick the pocket of the employer.

John Philips posted three articles on employee theft: Part I, Part II, and Part III.

I think the gist of these posts centers on two points that are always important in dealing with employees: (1) having solid policies in place and (2) enforcing them. Relationships do matter and they help make a business run well, but as John indicates, good relationships won’t stop people from boosting cash or supplies - workplace policies are king.
