I've taught in military and corporate environments. I was Teacher of the Year in 1996 at the company I worked for.

Probably stemming from the natural desire to NOT be in school as well as them absorbing the attitude of the teachers and other staff.

Good. Let's connect that to bureaucracy and bureacratic thought and procedures.

And here's a talking point. Compare what Microsoft was like in its early days versus what it's like now that it's a huge corporation.

I thought so ;) It comes quite naturally to you now, I imagine.

hmmmm, in the early days - workers feeling excitement, motivation, feeling like are contributing to new developments that'll change the world. Later one when the 'machine' is too big to be efficient any longer, it'd be more like the government and a civil service job. Like Eddie felt going into talk to Jim Taggart - knowing it would be a struggle and probably a waste of time to try to make things better.

Kinda like when we fax/email/phone our congressmen.
