I remain (what's the word ?) "astonished ? stunned ? at how deeply embedded into the fabric of our daily lives and work are the core assumptions of Taylorism. As I've mentioned to you before, once you start de-constructing the codified methods of measuring job "weight" or "importance" .. which determines placement on the org chart and places on into salary ranges and performance pay schemes .. you begin to realize just how very deep the codification goes. And, after the '90's passed, it's even found it's way into fundamental employment law in the form of the core assumptions that generated EPWEV (equal pay for work of equal value) legislation.

We have a long haul in front of us ;-)
