Remove step three and you've described a good third of the bloggosphere (why did I just use that word? Somebody get me a gin and tonic, ack)

You know you have a good company when people sneak in to do more work after they're not being paid anymore
You know you have a bad company when you fire people who would sneak in to do more work after they're not being paid anymore
