This time, last year
"Work continues to, if not suck, then, annoy. Still buying Lotto tickets (on Wednesday: $31 million!). Human resources came out for its Biannual Revelation. They, it turns out, have not been spending their time in isolation watching soaps and eating BonBons. They have devised Job Leveling: a tiered system that gives each position at Corporate a letter from A-J. A is '[the founder of The Company] and [Chief Operating Officer].' The pamphlet distributed to the plebians only graphs the hierarchy of G-J. Those who are at the bottom of whatever pile onto which they've been heaped are called 'Individual Contributors'.
"My esprit d'escalier has struck two weeks late, but I doubt my comment about the system seeming too Lamarckian would have been either appreciated or understood."
And last week there was another presentation: they have moved on to the Next Level: pay levels have been determined for all positions. The promise is that all job postings will include this pay level. Hee! As if.
