ATG, Re: new paradigms... Let's not rule out any remote possibility of either a soft landing or a continuation of market strength. After all, there was an incredible proportion of waste in many of the systems of commerce that are now being overhauled. You mentioned stock options, this piece is from Inc mag: "Having stock options has helped individuals think more like owners than like employees. We've seen a shift in how decisions are made as a result. Like purchasing and staffing decisions. Employees with options no longer simply suggest, 'Spend more money or hire more people.' They're thinking of other solutions." --Founder, $23-million health-care-administration company in Illinois Will heavily optioned employees simply stop working when the stock price is low? Or will they fight for even better productivity than we are already seeing is possible in some industries? How do new paradigms factor in? x
