I once had a boss who was wrapped up in percentages. Too much so. As the worker I used to get a certain % of each job, where the cost of materials fell within a certain range of a % also, meaning his take was usually the same % of each job. Well one day we got a job that used 3X the % of materials, but the job went 6X as fast. He got all bent out of shape because the % he got from the job was about 1/2 of what he usually got, EVEN THOUGH THE AMOUNT WAS 2X MORE! He lost sight of the ultimate goal - make $$$!
DON'T GET LOST IN THE PERCENTAGES. 3-5% of a multi-billion $$$ company is worth way more than 24% of an empty shell.
