Every night Dread Pirate Roberts from the Princess Bride lets his employee know where he stands “”Good night, Westley. Good work. Sleep well. I’ll most likely kill you in the morning.” Because his employees know where you stand, he is the highest rated employer in the Tampa Bay area. Frank Jones says the best thing about working for dread Pirate Roberts is knowing where you stand. You know that you have a job until at least the morning and he’s always very positive”
Tina Johnson explained that this is how almost all employers are. We live with that every day ” I’m going to fire you in the morning most likely.” She doesn’t really see it as that different and added “dread pirate Roberts wears black which is kind of cool”.
Big Frank explained that knowing that your manager is making the discussion is actually quite comforting as opposed to corporations where you never know who is making the decisions. He said, “Often they bring in consultants to make the decision of who is getting laid off.. The consultants use metrics that may or may not be accurate and you never know what’s going to happen. At least with dread pirate Roberts he takes responsibility.”
Juan Valdez says “that at least dread pirate Roberts says good job before laying you off. Most employers are going to lay you off and not even say thank you for your hard work. He does kill you rather than laying you off, but that is a trade off I am willing to take.”
After talking to many of his employees it seems that no one fully understands Dread Pirate Roberts business. Cindy Smith stated that he seems to sell new and used maritime goods. What she was sure of is that “he always seems to have significant capital”. Some people say that he operates a logistics company.
