<The lead partner, Sam, is awesome and hard to match. I bow before him.>

I read your email and immediately thought of Lao Tsu, of whom I am so fond.

"What is a bad man?
A good man's charge".

Some translations replace charge with job, but I respect the point. I remember quitting a job several years ago and I quoted Lao Tsu, but the old boss didn't get it. (I must have looked like David Brent in of BBCs 'The Office') Aside from inviting the unauspicious, life's too short to work with or for a bad man.

A good walker leaves no tracks;
A good speaker makes no slips;
A good reckoner needs no tally.
A good door need no lock, Yet no one can open it.
Good binding requires no knots, yet no one can loosen it.
Therefore the sage takes care of all men and abandons no one.
He takes care of all things and abandons nothing.
This is called "following the light".
What is a good man?
A teacher of a bad man.
What is a bad man?
A good man's charge.
If the teacher is not respected, and the pupil not cared for, confusion will arise, however clever one is.
This is the crux of mystery.
