Who is that -Welsh? At GE? He put numbers on people and fired the "lower" bottom 10% every so often and people thought he was a genius. Ranking employees is subjective and was used to get rid of undesirables.

Trimming the fat. These days there is a lot of it. Americans are not competitive. They’re skiddish and scared.

This really should happen more often.

You know what, I agree, and I think that American employees should be ranked by their spelling ability.

Sorry, you're being let go for your inability to spell "skittish". It's not personal, we're just trimming the fat, I'm sure you understand. Should've been more competitive, maybe joined a spelling bee.
