Absolutely! Agree with A Smith there.
Also, you say it is a family business - is the MD a member of that family? If that's the case, it's not very surprising if he sees the business as his 'baby' - it's what is called a paternalistic way of management which is not at all unusual in small companies, especially in more 'latin' countries like France, Italy, Spain etc.
If the MD is part of the family which owns the company, and the company is making profits and the workers are paid correctly, IMO I don't see why he shouldn't take the opportunity to visit countries that interest him. Business and work shouldn't just be about making as much money as possible, there should be enjoyment of what you do too. If the MD is just an employee and nothing to do with the family, or if it was a public company, that would be different. In those cases he shouldn't be spending money unnecessarily.
Congratulations on your success with the other company, but in the end, who are the profits for? As I see it, for those who make them (ie the workers), or for re-investing in the company. |
