crazykid, do you run a fish farm? There's nothing wrong with promoting a business, but don't promise millions.

Joel Spolskly, a software businessman, writes that reviews and incentive pay are unhelpful because:
- They cheapen the work of those who are doing a good job
(makes them feel as if they are doing it just to get good reviews or extra pay)
- They damage the morale of those who are doing averagely well - the vast majority.

Alfie Kohn, in a now-classic Harvard Business Review article, wrote:

, at least two dozen studies over the last three decades have conclusively shown that people who expect to receive a reward for completing a task or for doing that task successfully simply do not perform as well as those who expect no reward at all. [HBR Sept/Oct 93]

He concludes that "incentives (or bribes) simply can't work in the workplace". DeMarco and Lister go further, stating unequivocally that any kind of workplace competition, any scheme of rewards and punishments, and even the old fashion trick of "catching people doing something right and rewarding them," all do more harm than good. Giving somebody positive reinforcement (such as stupid company ceremonies where people get plaques) implies that they only did it for the lucite plaque; it implies that they are not independent enough to work unless they are going to get a cookie; and it's insulting and demeaning

If performance reviews don't work, and incentive pay causes more harm than good,
then how can employers motivate their employees to do the best jobs possible?

Abeg O! No go gimme heart attack. My wife-to-be is serving in Calabar.

If your fiancee is abducted, 'heart attack' will be the least of your problems. Better safe than sorry.

Soundmind, you are a gem. Bravo to you. However, your girlfriend needs to start taking ARVs as soon as possible, otherwise she will suddenly fall ill and die. Please, take this seriously. She needs the drugs.

They should invest in Nigeria.

Now that Dangote has boasted about his wealth, the whole of Nigeria is busy trying to bring him down. Envy!

I'll ask her how she discovered the secret of virgin birth

You can upload it at this site: www.sendspace.com and then post the resulting link on Nairaland. Thanks!

Commuting from Lagos very often will be a huge waste of your time.

This kind of unique bridge design can be employed in a situation of war.
Our forces can build it and cross rivers then before enemy troops get there, the bridge has dissolved.

Hehe.

What Lush has been doing is known as Link Spam.
If he loves you so much, why must he force you to visit his website?

Why can't he just copy those vacancies and paste them here directly?

You need to really know what you want in a husband. Can you be with this man forever? Do you understand each other? Those are the issues. I'll advice you to visit a counselor since your parents aren't being helpful.

If employers don't want to employ old people, I am sure they have their reasons.
Go and start your own business, and you will soon discover why. You'll do exactly the same thing, I'm sure.

If you search this forum, you will find the answer to your question.
Don't be lazy; don't try to outsource your financial responsibilities. You can buy a house.

She may not be able to write good songs, and in fact most performers do not write their songs, but she should be able to say, "this song is bad for me!" or "get me a songwriter who does gospel". It's so important.

MP007:
i don't care about the vessels , all i care about the the word that comes forth

Can you drink iced water out of a dirty vessel contaminated with excreta?

banks are now interested in financing people with killer ideas but no dough

Really? Which banks specifically?

Why is he boasting? Oprah Winfrey doesn't boast about her wealth. Boasting about wealth only breeds envy.

The Office isn't boring. I love the subdued humor, the cleverness, tension[b], hypocrisy[/b].

Trust me, girls are not that logical. A girl might actually choose the "nigga", the "thug" just because.

Nice. Thanks for posting this one.

Definitely my tribe. Afterall, my tribe is better than yours. Oya, let us fight to prove who is better. Gbosa!

Maybe I'm just complaining because I'm not a great fan of hip-hop or "black music" generally.

Fantasia Barrino's failure to really succeed in the music industry really frustrates me. She has every reason to succeed: vocal talent, looks, age, charisma. So why isn't she doing so well: because she's choosing the wrong songs. This is sad because even a baby watching American idol would have chosen better songs for her.

Here is a lady that charmed all of us by single Aretha Franklin type songs and won the American Idol competition, only to start releasing Hip Hop and RnB tracks, choosing a Rapper as her role model. Hello? Did you win the American Idol competition by rapping? Did you win American Idol by singing hiphop? Why change a winning style?

Fantasia Barrino's best singing style can be described in various words: 'gospel', 'screamer', 'Aretha Frankling type'. She should be singing a mixture of simple pop songs involving a lot of 'screaming' and inspirational/gospel music because that's what she does best. She shouldn't think that being black means doing hiphop. She is not that kind of black. She is a Mary J Blidge kind of black. A good girl 'gospel' type.

And if she wants to sing love songs, she should sing songs about love going well. And the decision to dedicate her first albums to 'baby mamas'? Very wrong. Baby Mamas have no money to buy your CDs, girl!

Want more proof that her song choice is bad: her only number 1 song "[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Believe_%28Fantasia_song%29]I Believe[/url]" was an American Idol song.

Good questions.

The prices seem pretty ok for dual core systems.
