You know...the first couple paragraphs showed some great ingenuity and innovation. Then I read the following statement:

Quote:

Kotick "pointed to changes he implemented in the past as being particularly beneficial, such as designing the employee incentive program so it 'really rewards profit and nothing else.'"


Everything after that makes it really hard to not want to shove a BFH down that guy's throat.

Apparently the guy doesn't understand the human spirit. When pinned down for too long, and absolutely dreading to go to your job...eventually you won't. You'll find a job with similar $$ or LESS, just so long as you don't want to kill someone or yourself by the end of the day.

Kotick probably doesn't care though--in fact, he probably wants that to happen. Then he can just hire some new, unweary schmucks for less, and continue the cycle. Going to such a job must be like playing a heavily-itemcentric MMO: You're absolutely hooked, can't remember why you enter "that world"; all you know is you must get the next larger hunk of cheese so that you can enter the even bigger maze, defeat the Rat inside, so that you can have .01% chance of receiving a wheel of cheese...
