The Measure of a Man

There is a proverb that says that the best way to judge a man is not by the way he treats his equals, but by the way he treats his inferiors. If you treat your servants or employees badly, it is a poor reflection on you.

The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good

In most companies there is a Human Resources department, and in a few companies people are treated as the company's most valuable asset.
Sadly, many companies treat their employees as Human Commodities rather than Human Resources or assets. They behave like their employees are disposable, and can be treated accordingly.
