It seems that most Americans are so proud of capitalism and shun communism as it if is some evil entity, usually without understanding much about either. Welcome to America. These are Americans.
In corporate America, one IT developer could be carrying the weight of most of the team, yet his pay plus bonuses is only maybe 2,000 - 5,000 more per year. This kind of communistic strategy hardly motivates top talent to deliver. The productivity of some developers are at a rate of 10 to 1 to many of his peers in the company. Yet his pay is only marginally higher. Why work so hard when everyone else is deadweight? Many CIOs refuse to reward their top talent much more than that because "they don't want to upset everyone". Yet the CIO himself takes home himself a big bonus plus promotions that year for the work of that single person, the highly talented person. Not only is this person's productivity 10 to 1 but he is able to produce things the 10 others are not able to produce and move the company into a new area.
It seems the reward strategy for most companies in corporate America is based on communism. Basically you get the same regardless of what you do. The exception of course are the executives. They seem to take some millions more for failing everyone else. By pulling back hand deals and corrupt practices, they seem to take all the money and glory of some of the top talent who work underneath them. Hardly seems unfair. Is this capitalism or a form of tyranny seen in communistic countries.
It seems to me the best strategy for a highly talented person in America is to work in a communistic way because corporate America is based on communism.
