Just saw on the news that the execs for Sports Authority were denied bonuses by court...

They were gonna get a few million in bonuses after closing all the stores...

The court said it's not fair that they get millions in bonuses when people are loosing their jobs.... Duh...

Interesting how the top cheeses get all the money for themselves and pay the workers ****...

And really, rewarding them for failure??? Closing all the stores is not an accomplishment worthy of a bonus.... Corporate amerika...

Both teams practiced hard and long to reach their peak performance levels. On the big day they felt ready. The Japanese won by a mile. The American team was discouraged by the loss and corporate management decided that the reason for the crushing defeat had to be found, so a consulting firm was hired to investigate the problem and recommend corrective action.

The consultant's finding: The Japanese team had eight people rowing and one person steering; the American team had one person rowing and eight people steering.

After a year of study and millions spent analyzing the problem, the consultant firm concluded that the American team had too many people steering and not enough rowing.

As race day neared again the following year, the American team's management structure was completely reorganized.

The new structure: four steering managers, three area steering managers, and a new performance review system for the person rowing the boat to provide a work incentive.

The next year, the Japanese won by two miles. Humiliated, the American corporation laid off the rower for poor performance and gave the managers a bonus for discovering the problem.
