At Arthur Anderson (before GAO), Walker specialized in employee pay. At GAO, employees resented his schemes to motivate them with more money based on Walker's notion of their "performance" that would have taken from some "low" performers and given to other "high" performers. To protect themselves, employees voted 2 to 1 to unionize. Those employees were all college graduates who had never in the 70 year history of the organization considered joining a union. Considering the highly varied kinds of work GAO employees do, Walker's performance measures were all subjective apples-to-oranges comparisons. His measurement schemes were stupid but harmless; his pay re-distribution based on them was not. If the Congress had not reversed it, the courts would have.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8309931040176906905.post-86703496627874302602012-04-15T00:56:29.991-04:002012-04-15T00:56:29.991-04:00This was the early 70s and maybe the elites weren&...This was the early 70s and maybe the elites weren't as uptight then.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8309931040176906905.post-81220960021373449882012-04-12T14:11:12.620-04:002012-04-12T14:11:12.620-04:00Surprised you could get near the front door withou...Surprised you could get near the front door without getting bagged and tagged.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8309931040176906905.post-59599010332715934372012-04-12T13:38:50.308-04:002012-04-12T13:38:50.308-04:00I used to go trick-or-treating at Webster's (m...I used to go trick-or-treating at Webster's (my former neighbor) house.
