Possumblog

Not in the clamor of the crowded street, not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng, but in ourselves, are triumph and defeat.--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

REDIRECT ALERT! (Scroll down past this mess if you're trying to read an archived post. Thanks. No, really, thanks.)

Due to my inability to control my temper and complacently accept continued silliness with not-quite-as-reliable-as-it-ought-to-be Blogger/Blogspot, your beloved Possumblog will now waddle across the Information Dirt Road and park its prehensile tail at http://possumblog.mu.nu.

This site will remain in place as a backup in case Munuvia gets hit by a bus or something, but I don't think they have as much trouble with this as some places do. ::cough::blogspot::cough:: So click here and adjust your links. I apologize for the inconvenience, but it's one of those things.

Real Employment Empowerment

Elizabeth Spiers (who, by the way, is NOT the sister of Britney Spiers [sic], despite what all you pervgooglers who mistakenly stumble upon Possumblog may think, nor do I have any nekkid pictures of her. At least right now), points out one of the core things that separates successful companies from unsuccesful ones:

Every employee should be made to feel like they make a contribution - negative or positive - to the bottom line, and that the company's success is directly connected to their individual performance. Not because that sounds nice and makes every feel all warm and fuzzy, but because if every employee has that attitude, it makes a *material* difference to the bottom line. No one takes the minor costs that add up to be major expenses for granted. Individuals understand that their lack of productivity can affect their colleague's job security, and vice versa.

Also kinda points out the difference between bureaucratic reality and everything else.
