[Shotimes] Re: (OT) How to avoid the pitfalls of pricing

Dave, you may have seen it, but I have "definitely" seen it (and have done
it myself).

When times get tough, the best people leave first. The deadwood will stay.

Right.  To some extent, I agree.  Get rid of the dead wood.  Those that
prove their value, keep.  And give them a raise every year.

If you don't at least try to do the annual review and raise_as_an_incentive
thing, no one will feel they need to work harder than the next guy. And
others will leave.

I guess really it depends on the company, and perhaps the industry.  These
days, it could be said that some people will try and prove themselves just
to keep their job, as opposed to trying to get a raise.

Of course, none of this applies to the UAW.  :)

And.....what if you can't raise the price of your service or product to the
rate of inflation?

Sorry. To me, the new reality is not 40-years-and-a-gold-watch. Everyone
needs to prove their value.

Dave, you've been there too!!

At the very least, to keep up with inflation.

Why??

That is a concept that is slowly dying (good or bad, depending on how you
view it). If you have a job that is one year of experience repeated for "X"
number of years, why should you (sorry, just read some editorials on the MTA
strike in NY!!).

Because you (supposedly) should be getting a raise every year.

Getting off on more of a tangent, why do they only say that retirees are on
'fixed incomes'? I'm on a fixed income, Whether I work 40 hours
(hahhahahahahaha) or 90 hours a week, I get the same amount of money. It's
called salary!
