Ridiculous. You're effectively saying that the whole basis of the representative democracy we live in is invalid, seeing as there is no way even 650 MPs can between them encompass experience of every conceivable corner of the nation they legislate for.
No, I am not an employer. And if I were, I hope I would not be so pompous as to claim that I am right simply because of having some direct experience of being one. I have never been to war, killed a fox, been a victim of a serious crime or killed anybody. But as a citizen of a democratic society I have perfectly valid opinions on all of those issues. Live with it.
I think you hit the nail on the head in post 135 when you said that 'technically' you have been an employer due to a series of senior management positions, and through having been a director and a shareholder. Well sorry, but I know plenty of people who are one or more, or all three of those things at once, without ever holding any position within a company that would give them such special insight into the perils of Human Resources that they could claim to be automatically right.
All I hear from you is a rather sad logical fallacy - it's called an Appeal to Authority. You can read more about it
here if you have any interest in posting something a little more convincing than 'I'm right because I know I am'.
