Students asked to give part of their GPA to lower earning student.

Really?

So they both make the same amount of money?

They are not paid the same - but that doesn't change the fact they will be more successful if they work together and share information.

Incidentally I think you will find that within of a corporation, more successful teams/division will often find ways to mitigate the losses of under-performing business lines or divisions. Life is not always a zero sum game.

Is everyone on the team paid the same?

Even the Spartans had a chain of command.

Not everyone gets to be a general.

More irrelevant slimsense. Carry on brother!

I have been down this road on VJ before. There are many here who have no concept of the "team" at all. I suspect it's because they've spent too long being a team of 1

Lets be fair, I don't think the state of Ohio affords it's incarcerated citizens a single room. So, a team of 2 maybe?

"If I work my @$$ off and Initech ships a few more units..."

Incidentally I think you will find that within of a corporation, more successful teams/division will often find ways to mitigate the losses of under-performing business lines or divisions. Life is not always a zero sum game.

And more successful businesses will find ways to cut the under-performing business lines or divisions out of the game entirely. Life is not always fair.

slimsense.

Now you're getting it.

Google "Barry Sanders" and see what you come up with.

America is the Lions, in case you missed the metaphor.

I have a criminal record in the State of Ohio and I was incarcerated for a few weeks. I'm on probation.

Is there anyone out there who hasn't heard that before? If not, The Dude (or whatever name he's going by this week) can clue you in since it's relevant to this - and all - threads here on VJ. Some of you are concerned about relevance so perhaps you should delve into this one?

But, but, but......

No buts - the highest paid person is not able to do their jobs without the lower paid people. It's about the price of the skills and experience in the market. That doesn't mean each isn't important.

"If I work my @$$ off and Initech ships a few more units..."

sometimes it's about working smarter not harder

And more successful businesses will find ways to cut the under-performing business lines or divisions out of the game entirely. Life is not always fair.

And sometimes units that under-perform one year will be highly successful in 5 years. It called being strategic....and smart

[slim 1,530]

the highest paid person is not able to do their jobs without the lower paid people.

Um, actually, they are. That's why they're in a highest paid position and not one of the lower paid positions.

It's about the price of the skills and experience in the market.

Exactly. It has nothing to do with "everyone counts."

That doesn't mean each isn't important.

It sets a scale of what's more important. The problem we run into in today's America is we want to pretend everyone is equally important.

We're not.

sometimes it's about working smarter not harder

So it's smarter to use more people to get a job done when you can do it just as effectively with less people?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah. Buhahahahahahahaha.

All fine and dandy as long as we remember that slim is arguing against people that are not in this thread.

Slim, in case it hasn't occured to you, I am Rob&Mel. I kept my signature so that it would be obvious. Hell, even simpson figured it out. So what does taht say about you?

My point was, and will continue to be, that you of all people have NO right to complain about people sucking at the government teat. You are the ultimate tax dollar drain. You couldn't follow the laws of the land and as such the government needed to separate you from society and strip you of some of your rights. If you were a good citizen, you would make restitution to the citizens of Ohio for taking their tax dollars to pay for your poor behavior.

I'm not arguing against anyone. I'm sticking to my MO of posting facts.

Indeed you are, slim. Indeed you are.

Just because you see it as a fact doesn't mean it actually is. Delusions just work that way Slim.

I had no clue who you were. I mean, there are lots of people that post in every thread I'm in "Slim, you have a criminal record" instead of presenting counter points and intelligent debate.

At least the rest of them are posting stuff semi-related to this thread. You're sticking to your same old, boring, tired, "But slim, you're a criminal."

The people chose to adopt the form of government that incarcerates suspects without trial. I didn't volunteer to stay in jail while charges were pending. I would've gladly saved the state some money and sat my happy a$$ at home.

I'm glad you brought up restitution. I've paid my fines and fees. You can stop arguing that one now.
