MSFT's wealthy employees hard to manage... I read the article you posted in this morning's paper. It sounded a bit negative. After some reflection, I think retiring with bags of loot while still young is good for both the company and the employees. Good for the company because, with the exodus of 'older' workers, the workforce remains young and full of energy. The 'going stale' problem gets solved, along with all the other challenges any company with older workers face. Also, with the 'roadblocks' leaving, young workers get to climb the ladder much quicker, making the company attractive to the 'go-getter' type workers. One thing the article didn't address is the number of eager and capable people ready to join the team. With this new blood comes new ideas. Cheers, PW. P.S. I know the challenges of managing an independent workforce. I used to leave my boss' office after he'd 'laid down the law' and have a good chuckle. These guys need to learn you'll attract more with sugar than with vinegar.
