For an executive, I don't care tracking cause and effect of their individual actions. So you want to pay executives but not based on how THEY actually did as individuals, but on a group basis? That is a truly innovative bonus system. Excuse the sarcasm, you invited it. In case you meant something else than me, you replied to my comment that was a reply to one very specific comment, and I obviously assume we are still on that topic. In that context your reply "I don't care how the individual does" is strange at the very least. EDIT: Ah I get it, but it does not make any more sense because if you assumed I meant the actions of the executive on a Tuesday at 2 pm in September instead of his whole reign than I don't understand how one can come up with such an interpretation. Reminds me of the topic submitted one or two days ago of that investor person who didn't want to say anything in public any more to not have to have exactly these kinds of ridiculous misinterpretations to deal with. You cannot say if it was that specific individuals actions specifically that caused success! Not even if the executive is CEO for 30 years. It has been shown again and again that such successful executives, when placed into a different environment suddenly fail. Because it isn't just them, it is the whole environment that caused their success.

>So you want to pay executives but not based on how THEY actually did as individuals, but on a group basis? >That is a truly innovative bonus system. Excuse the sarcasm, you invited it. Yes, that is exactly what I want to do. As a customer, shareholder, or employee, I don't care if it was Bill the COO's execution or Jane the CEO's vision and strategy caused the company to succeed; I care the company succeeded. It is "all for one and one for all". > In case you meant something else than me, you replied to my comment that was a reply to one very specific comment, and I obviously assume we are still on that topic. I also assumed that. We adopted a similarly structured program as edblarney contemplated, summarized here: http://ir.cimpress.com/mobile.view?c=188894&v=202&d=3&id=aHR0cDovL2FwaS50ZW5rd2l6YXJkLmNvbS9maWxpbmcueG1sP2lwYWdlPTEwOTIzNDE5JkRTRVE9MCZTRVE9MCZTUURFU0M9U0VDVElPTl9FTlRJUkUmc3Vic2lkPTU3 http://ir.cimpress.com/mobile.view?c=188894&v=202&d=3&id=aHR... Your text was clear that it was "individual person's actions". I did not misread that as "what they had for lunch on a random Tuesday". I'm sorry that you are frustrated by "exactly these kinds of ridiculous misinterpretations" in this thread. I don't think they are with the person you think though.
