Government Dead Wood Jeff Taylor (Founder and chairman, Monster.com) from this Fast Company article says: We're using that approach at Monster. For example, 71% of federal-government workers will be eligible to retire over the next eight years. My conclusion: I have to figure out how to do business with the U.S. government. So I put employees in a number of different departments who wear a government-solutions name badge. They represent a silo of expertise that's going to help me win that business. My conclusion? Just saved tax payers 71% in salary expenses over the next eight years. I'm sure they can do better than that! Don't get me wrong, I'm not one who thinks old timers are dead wood but this will get a good chunk of the dead wood out of government. Now just have to get rid of the 29% dead wood still remaining and the government workforce will be down to what it should be.   12:27:30 AM
