But that's exactly what got us into this mess. Why? Your word "performance". For the last 25 years, executives and wall street have essentially lied about "performance", both in terms of what it is and how it's measured. What you see happening right now is that unraveling of fake performance but the burglars are good! They're taking the jewels on their way out. Which is why the bonus issue is no small thing. So what changes would we need to make? Take Robert's ridiculous over-arching criticism of Obama; after 45 days. That's doltish and a symptom of the culture that's been created: gimme gimme gimme now noW nOW NOW! "Performance" is now measured over the scale of micro-seconds (day traders? DAY?? w.t.f.) and on fecked up works of fiction called 10Ks. So I agree with you if when we say performance we're talking over the course of years, say 5, as measured by a true accounting of assets vs. liabilities and risks. And those rewards should go to all employees. And union pay should aligned performance. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:292233 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
