Sounds like no one else could get anything done because everyone was too busy working on stuff for Scott.

- stuff4ben 13y agoworks in IT, would do more for someone who gives me donuts and makes me look good in front of my boss. The rest of you can queue and go through normal channels. Sorry, I'm a person, not a robot (who likes donuts and coffee if you can spare it). I do my job and do it damn well, but I'll make time for you if you treat me nicer. I might even work evenings and weekends, but that might require steak and beer.
- marcuscreo 13y agoExactly! Stuff4ben, does it motivate to you to know you're "helping save the company $1M" or to feel like "your digging the same ditch, different day"?
- marcuscreo 13y agoYou actually hit on an interesting point, and there's some truth to that! People who didn't work the personal angle often felt "left out" or "ignored", especially in light of how much Scott got done. But, they never actually figured out that if they simply were kind & generous with praise/credit, they would get the same treatment. So yes, it was a problem for the losers in the equation.
