Hi!

Hello, and welcome to the forum.

I saw a sentence while I was reading a book, but I don't get it.

Please cite properly the source of that sentence. Provide a link.

"Make sure the help has just as much at stake than you do."

Are you sure your quote is accurate?

Thank you, and thank you for your reponse.

I don't have any link I can't provide. But the name of the book is "American Savages"

The sentence is " Make sure the help has just as much, or more, at stake than you do."

Please note that I've changed your thread title. Titles must include some or all of the words/phrases you are asking about.

You also need to tell us the name of the book's author.

Thank you, and thank you for your response.

Please note my corrections above. As Rover said, we'll be able to help you further when you tell us the name of the author.

While we await the author's name I'll provide a partial answer. In your first attempt you misquoted. If that quote had been accurate we could have said that "than" should have been "as". But given the correct quote "or more than" is fine.

Understand @bbbbb that the title and author are required BY LAW. If you don't provide the author's name this entire thread will be deleted.

Hi again,

Thank you all for your interest.

I'm not sure if you want something like that but here is the link I found: https://www.amazon.com/American-Savages-Ruthless-People-Book-ebook/dp/B00RGZ027S

So the author is J J McAvoy. That'll do nicely.

Yes, so can you please explain me what it means?

 

[probus]

It is directed at people who employ others. "The help" is a contemptuous and patronising way of referring to one's employees. The author is advising employers to ensure that anything that would be good or bad for them would be equally good or bad for their employees. This is obviously to ensure that employees act in the best interests of their employers. The principle can be briefly described as alignment of interests or as common goals and aspirations.

Mr. Probus thank you sooo much. Have a nice day

There's no need to post a thank you note, @bbbbb. There's a reaction tool below each post. One possible reaction is Thanks.

Mr. Probus, thank you sooo so much. Have a nice day.

We don't use "Mr/Mrs/Miss/Ms" with usernames. Also, your use of "Mr" suggests that you automatically assumed that probus is male.
Don't misspell words, even for dramatic/humorous effect.

The help is an old way of referring to people working in houses like cleaners and maids.
