The hell with them all. After all, he didn’t make any of those business decisions required to run the company. Especially the bad decisions. He just expects to take advantage of all the good decisions. The bad decisions you should be willing to eat. After all, if it weren't for him, you wouldn't even own a car. “Yeah, that’s it. That’s the Ticket. And my Wife, Morgan Fairchild, no Cindy Crawford, Yeah, that’s it.”
You view employees through the prism that they should always be paid less than they are worth. Employees are greedy, clueless and nothing but an expense. They could never be honest, aware and save or make you money.
For all of those same reasons when you call a plumber to come work on your house they should also eat your bad financial decisions. If their going rate is $95/hr, pay him $65/hr because you got a divorce, you lost money on gold when everyone else made money, your house dropped in value and you drilled holes in the water pipes installing a shelf and the basement has 4" of water and rising. He needs to be aware of all of that and realize just because other plumbers get $95/hr he is working for you and you'll go without him if he doesn't accept $65/hr.
