More than a living

Enjoy the weekend.

• My Visit to Trek: Two Guys in a Barn
  “Employees make good use of the commuter program. Each day someone rides, walks, skates or car pools to work, that employee receives credit for Trek products or cash for the cafeteria.

• Is your culture too nice and too inclusive?
  “Inclusion is not right for every situation - or all phases of every situation. Group decision making does not always lead to better decisions. There are times to collaborate and participate and times to divide and conquer.”
