Interesting quote from an article on Amazon.com's success... --- Quote ---As the company has grown, Mr. Bezos has become more committed to his original ideas, viewing them in almost moral terms, those who have worked closely with him say. “My main job today: I work hard at helping to maintain the culture,” Mr. Bezos said last year at a conference run by Business Insider, a web publication in which he is an investor. Of all of his management notions, perhaps the most distinctive is his belief that harmony is often overvalued in the workplace — that it can stifle honest critique and encourage polite praise for flawed ideas. Instead, Amazonians are instructed to “disagree and commit” (No. 13) — to rip into colleagues’ ideas, with feedback that can be blunt to the point of painful, before lining up behind a decision. “We always want to arrive at the right answer,” said Tony Galbato, vice president for human resources, in an email statement. “It would certainly be much easier and socially cohesive to just compromise and not debate, but that may lead to the wrong decision.” --- End quote --- Source:MSN |

Wow Vigo, sorry to hear. I've still got a card from the ones you donated to the Zapcon crew - looks like I'll use it this week. |
| Vigo:
Thanks, slippy! I *think* your locations are performing enough to be fine, but I can only speculate at this point. |

Ugh. You're a good dude, Vigo. You'll get back on your feet ASAP. Let us know if you need anything. |
