Pay for Performance (Updated) 1

Look!

Over at Google.

Some executives got bonuses and

they. did. not. even. destroy. the. company. and . demand. a. bailout!

Who woulda thunk!

Note the the largest bonus Google gave out would likely just barely be enough to redecorate a Wall Street banker’s Pavilion of Necessity.

No doubt, with such paltry bonuses, really no more than plastic beads, all these folks will be fleeing to Manhattan where the really big bonuses are given out.

First, though, they shall have to learn how to lose money and destroy companies.

Addendum, the next morning:

And look again: The Google Bonuses actually went down this year.

    I’m all for pay for performance.  I think congress should be the first entity to adopt it.  If they do, they’ll be paying us.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
