I’ve seen it happen a bunch in the IT field.
- Swenrekcah 8y agoI guess in this case you are measuring performance in money earned then, not in quality of work. In which case they’re not outperforming in the field of IT but field of finance.
- ithkuil 8y agoProbably elsewhere too, especially where there are no artificial obstacles to limit the ingress of "external" people to a field. IMHO the missing metric is "potential": the ability of an individual to thrive and get better over time despite possible previous misfortune, change of mind/hearth (or even just plain laziness) that might have made them score badly in the aforementioned metrics.
- sokoloff 8y agoIt’s quite easy to outperform one of the worst performers in an industry. My own financial condition is unremarkably stable and I’m crushing Mr Fuscone.
- justherefortart 8y agoExamples would be nice, because I've never seen it in 25 years. No education No relevant experience No resources No connections Bullshit.
