As we approach 10,000 members in the WorldatWork Online Community, it is not surprising that the responses to the proposition that we should do away with incentive pay run the gamut -- from "it can't happen fast enough" to "incentives are the best thing to happen to compensation" in the last 50 years.

Snowjob Reader Comments (2)  
I once read that cultures signal their values through language in part based on the sheer number of words for certain phenomena. The Eskimoes, for example, are said to have a disproportionate number of words for snow. Why is it that U.S. pay practices have discovered so many words for pay cut?
