At around 50 employees, you get to the point where you can't see what's going on all the time. So you start to have weekly check-ins, and you have days that go by without knowing exactly what's going on.

Most employees only want to know how much they get paid and how much time off they get - they probably don't have the mission in their souls.
I'm not an employee who goes to the office every morning at the same time. Then, vacations are needed.
Usually when you're working is when people want you to work. They don't want you as much when you're not working. That's the frustrating nature of our business.
There were days that I worked all the time, without a layoff, or a rest, finishing one picture and reporting for another sometimes on the same day.
Most weeks, I work 100-plus hours on TheMuse.com. There are definitions of 'work-life balance' that would say I have none.
I have 120 employees on the road every day, and about 30 other employees off the road.
I never once had a regular paycheck. Not for more than six weeks in a row and for the most part not even that. I still haven't. The notion of some whistling kid with a mail cart coming down the hall and handing me my weekly paycheck is something I've only seen in Matthew Broderick movies.
I don't sign every check anymore, but I have my checks, my balances. I like the people I work with very much, but I check on them.
