You missed the part that in a team of good performers, (i.e. no dead woods in the team), it ends up being a defacto "random" system.... when it comes to actual performance, and that's where politiking and favoritisms kick in

I think this is a more issue of "Stack Ranking", which by itself should be illegal, but somewhat it is still legal. While pretty much all employment in the US is "at will" employment, "good faith" is assumed i

Where did you get that number? Unless you are doing some hardcore HIT, or doing olympic level running, you will never burn 1000 cal in a hour or running. Very few people can maintain 8+ mph for a whole hour. "Like it or not, running

Is that pre or post taxes? How do people survive in London with such low salaries? It always baffles me, as I live in NYC (which is equally expensive).

It is very interesting as the Romans lost the battle because of complete lack of scouting and intelligence/information gathering. They had a disdain on it. They also had a disdain on archery as well (they considered it unmanly). They

It looks like Spain are coming as the bad guys in the whole ordeal, trying to keep their "vassal" state at any cost. Seems like a throwback to feudal times. They could have made a reasonable deal. Referendum would be valid if the

You need to find a sport that you like. I find simply running boring, but when done in a sport is a completely different thing. Apart from the gym, I play soccer three times a week and it is nothing by fun. Switching volleyball session du
