Ask HN: High-stakes promotions
1 point by wensing on June 17, 2008 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment
What if promotions/raises within a company included a corresponding (enforceable) increase in accountability? What if someone making 4x as much had a 4x greater chance (risk) of being fired tomorrow? This is obviously not the way corporate America works now. Has it ever been done?


I went from a nice cushy job in the mailroom of the Denny's world HQ to a rather dangerous, disastrous and very frustrating job in the same building as a maintenance technician.

Yes. It's been done.
