How Did "That Guy" Get Promoted?? You know the guy I mean.He's competent (mostly), but never brilliant. He turns his work in by deadline, makes pleasant water-cooler conversation and walks out the door at the stroke of 5. He is emphatically mediocre.Why, then, does he get the praise, the promotions, the raises? Research by economist Marko Terviö offers a possible explanation: Companies spend too much hiring known talents -- even if they aren't actually particularly, well, talented -- rather than taking a chance on untested up-and-comers.Companies are Afraid of the Unknown Thi... view article details

Forty years ago, economists predicted that the U.S. workforce was heading into a crisis of leisure - that people would soon have so much free time they wouldn't know what to do with it. As the impact of technology made more and more human labor redundant, it was widely assumed that a four-hour workday, or a three-day week, or even a six-month year would eventually be the norm.

Schor, in her book The Overworked Ameri... view article details

Almost on a daily basis I speak with an executive who tells me how one of their team members received a tremendous pay increase to jump ship. The problem with such stories is that everyone likes to talk about that one example that catches everyone else’s attention. And if all you hear is such stories for a while, you end up believing that such wage increases are the norm, not the exception. This can lead to what the Nobel laureate Robert Shiller calls narrative econo... view blog & white papers details
