Teja is an employer in the forge, and used to be one in his life: - as a count, he was economically responsible for the men of his comitatus and their families. He's one of those old-fashioned employers and leaders who makes sure his people are taken care of and have food, the horses are watered and there are places for all the kids to sleep before he sits down to dinner, if you know what I mean? He expects loyalty and will explain his reasons and convince people, but will expect unquestioning loyalty at crunch-time.

Urquhart used to be a Scottish laird, so his attitude to his clan and people was similar, but not quite so matter-of-fact, as he didn't really expect or want that position. After that, he was a loner and independent contractor, so to speak, who'd employ sub-contrators at times. Breach of contract could be deadly -- he does that in a very remarkable scene in his canon.

Sirona works as a database administrator as a cover during the canon I take her from, but it doesn't mean much to her -- she uses the resources and connections as part of her Xanatos gambit, that is all.

Margolotta owns a castle and employs an Igor, a librarian, a smith, and then a number more people she needs to run the whole thing; she is a very fair employer and sees to it that everybody gets a piece of the cake she is working on, as everybody will work better when they have direct benefits above and beyond mere pay. She wants everyone invested in her grand project.

Lorenzo is only a rich kid at the moment of his canon; his father is the one who employs lots of people. Piero has a very creative attitude towards firing people and will sack all the servants just to make a point, at one stage. The Medici are hard employer to work for, but you can earn a lot of money of you please them.

For Ma'at, Tower, Bridgette, Tamara and Donovan, the issue does not apply, for several different reasons.
