A Dilbert-esque CEO gets his comeuppance. He sent out an email memo which said, “We are getting less than 40 hours of work from a large number of our K.C.-based EMPLOYEES … you have a problem and you will fix it or I will replace you… NEVER in my career have I allowed a team which worked for me to think they had a 40-hour job.” Naturally it was widely circulated and his company’s stock price dropped 22 percent…

According to the NYT, “he said, he wanted to promote discussion. He apparently succeeded, receiving more than 300 e-mail responses from employees.” I wish I could have read some of those!

It’s an ill wind… I’m just back from Cuba (wonderful – more info will be available when I get my web journal sorted out). I had my minidisc player stolen there – this was a nuisance but it gave me a chance/excuse to upgrade to a new Sharp portable MD. I must say I can’t see why people want MP3 players – Minidiscs are much more versatile… And this nifty pocket-sized one can record in stereo more than 5 hours on a single disc!80 mortgage loansloan 9 9 sbacollege access loanloan processing courses accreditedcash advance american loanspayday payday loan faxless loan advancegrants financial loan aid collegeloan credit cash alaska fast Maphigh schools syria in american accreditedcredit acu texas ofunion credit alleghenyzoo accreditation organizationscredit allied unionfor accreditation agency online tutoringand credit facilitators adoption taxsleep accredited labs Map
