Speaking of motivation, today’s Orange County Register has a story about a guy who really knows — or knew — how to light a fire under his employees.
According to the story, Woo Sung Park, a landscaping supervisor, told day laborer Ernesto Avalos that he, Avalos, was not pulling his weight on the job. The pep talk so energized Mr. Avalos that he beat Mr. Park to death with a shovel and a pickax.
This happened right here in Irvine! Tragically, one of my rich neighbors is now two men short on his beautification project . . .
How does all this motivation ‘stuff’ play in France, you think? Or, do you think the new nap-during-the-day plan is really a plan for workplace sex?
