[MR] comps

[Gina Shelley]

Actually, I agree with you. I am saying, though, that people being people, you have to be extremely careful with the idea of comping folks for work. Heck, the CD example I cited, I didn't want to take Vincent's money due to the massive amounts of work he did on it. But he insisted, saying he had donated that time to the household. We we both knew that money, like I said, can breed some serious resentment among people. 

 

It is a slippery, dangerous slope.
