I excelled at the job but found my mental state suffering. I had over 130 people under me, all of which lived with mom and dad, or with their spouses mom and dad and were all talking about saving up for 6 months to buy a $2000 car...
I couldn't relate to them, to their lifestyles, to their social structures. When Minte had picked up his Lambo, I had mentioned it to a few guys at work. They looked at me like I'd grown a second head. How could I know someone who could afford a Lambo?
Before I left, I held a company BBQ for a bunch of my employees. In retrospect probably not a good idea. My home while moderate and conservative to the porn community was very lavish and extravagant to them. This created a larger rift between my staff and I.
It's tough, be prepared.

It's interesting that you bring this up because I have been dealing with something similar in a social club (swingers) my wife and I are involved with. Recently I discovered that I had a group of haters growing and that a group of them had plotted to get me thrown out of the club (because I run porn sites... uhhh wut?). It was a complete shock to me because they were being cool to my face and talking shit behind my back. I have never fit into the corporate world...
