not only group/org performance as part of compensation packages, but company stock options? it is a double-edge sword though when the company stops growing, it loses its best and brightest people to the next strong growth companies the Fed is very unimpressive Greenspan is quite impressive though in many respects he constantly fights the ignorant oldmind thinking on the Board from crustified governors I forget to mention the other myth, but you touched on it it is that wages lead the inflation chain if at all, wages follow in lagged form wages are linked in lagged form with productivity gains such wage gains are granted with tremendous reluctance I refer to the masses, not those blessed with stock options my VP on Friday in a calm conversation admitted that the exploitation and integration of extreme statistical talent into the corporate environment is a dismal failure... he agreed with my point, that point... I had said that the corp culture insists on bureaucraticizing the extremely skilled people, in forcing them to reduce their duty skill requirements as "good corp citizens"... I said to him pointblank "FXXX THAT: time to go consulting or teaching"... he agreed 100%, but struggled to argue that the corp will respond and fix the matter... I said "it will take you two years to reverse the trend, and then you will have other bureaucratized crapp to undo"... he agreed again sometimes it is not worth arguing with me the only only firms in this country I have ever seen adequately exploit and integrate extreme stat talent is statistical consulting firms founded by statisticians... then the problem is forcing 60 hr workweeks I quit... where the hell is the beach? / jim
