1) It's a waste of time. The seller wants way more than I am willing to pay, and it doesn't make sense. We are simply too far apart and why waste my time or anyone else's? The buyer is not upset, simply views it as a waste of time.
2) "Why should I waste my time? They obviously are stupid!" This buyer sees the seller as out of touch with reality, lacking an understanding of the market conditions. There is a wall of resistance already built between the buyer and seller.
3) This buyer says, "They obviously want "x", otherwise, they wouldn't ask for "x"." "Let me know when they come down in price, and maybe I wil make an offer.
Buyers in category 3 often have an interest in the property, and will even monitor price changes.....but decline to make an offer.....until the seller comes down nearer to a price range the buyer finds of interest.
The overpriced seller combats all of the above, plus the overpriced seller also misses many showings where the buyer doesn't even know that the property is there. i.e. The buyers are only looking at properties with asking prices from 145K-155K, so the properties with higher ask prices are eliminated from consideration.
There are some buyers who are 'low ballers" who will offer substantially under market in the hopes that if your throw enough offers out there, one will stick. The strategy does work. Some Realtors find this very time consuming with a very low success ratio, and prefer not to work with these buyers. In this case, the buyer is better off with a different Realtor, and the Realtor is better off with different clients. Working relationships should be a win-win situation. In reality, this type of strategy of offering substantially under market value is employed by few.
There seems to be an assumption on the part of both buyers and agents for buyers that the "list price" of a house pretty much reflects the house's value...that maybe it's 3% overpriced, so you make an offer at 3%-5% under list and everyone's happy. Now, good agents will run the comps and advise the buyer on what other houses have sold for. And good agents will also suggest a strategy for bidding. And there are some good agents out there. When I bought my first couple of houses, I had some very good agents. But, frankly, many aren't that good at negotiating and many don't run the comps.
Let me let you in on a few more secrets and reasons why buyers are reluctant to make low offers:
Some are intimidated by the whole process. They figure that if a house is priced at $165,000, then that's its price, minus a bit of wiggle room. There's already a seller who's bought into that price. There's the seller's agent, who's bought into that price. There's the buyer's agent, who probably has done a search on the MLS for properties in the $160,000-$170,000 price range, and so figures this one is probably worth about that. And here comes the innocent buyer, who only buys a house every 5-7 years. Does he/she want to buck the system? No. Especially if he/she has been preapproved for a $165,000 mortgage.
Second, there's the American fear of negotiating. And if Americans (and I'm a 3rd generation American, so I'm all too familiar with the mindset) do attempt to negotiate, they feel the need to "split the difference." Why? Because that's what we've always been taught. So, to use your example, if a house is priced at $165,000, but a buyer thinks it's only worth $150,000, the buyer figures, probably correctly, that his offer of $150,000 will be countered at $157,500. That's still overpriced, and there's no way to get the price down. Best the buyer can do now is counter again at $154,000 (again splitting the difference), with his agent wispering in his ear that the seller probably won't accept it. And if you go with the old "split the difference" strategy, the buyer has to make an initial offer not at $150,000, but at $135,000, so that the difference can be split at $150,000. And now all the agents are likely to scream "low ball," even if $150,000 is a fair price.
Plus, some agents don't like getting the reputation of submitting low offers. In the same way some agents will only accept pristine or upscale houses. Anything less would damage their reputation, they feel. Also, a low offer can make the listing agent look bad if the listing agent recommended the listing price. Imagine Sally Seller yelling at her agent, "You told me that my house was worth $165,000. But here's an offer for $130,000. What are you, stupid or something?"
Here's another secret, though. If the agent had recommended listing it at $150,000, but the seller responded, "Well, let's see if we can get more. Let's try at $165,000, and if it doesn't sell in a few weeks, I'll drop the price," then the listing agent may actually welcome your low offer. It's a reality check for the seller.
Hope that helps.
You have to remember consumers for the last 30/40 years have been "propagated" into believing that the price is based on the "asking price" - minus the realtors commission .. and don't mess with the commission.
Lets use your figures as an example: we have an "asking price" of $165,000 .... most realtors will say, you might "maybe" get a 3 to 6% discount if they bargain real hard for you (I always loved that part) ... but they also make sure you are very aware of their commission, and how it's going to effect the sellers net figures which usually runs around 6 or 8% ....
So in the buyers mind, they're thinking "gheez, I don't think the seller will ever take $141,900 for it" ..... plus, the whole time you have "your realtor" that you're paying a stiff commission to, is in your ear saying: "You'll make the seller mad, so don't bid low.."
Don't you just love it.? ..... try this someday, grab a plane and go to 20 different cities and you'll hear it from 20 different realtors in 20 different area's of the country, it's like when they get their license, they get a DVD that says the same thing .l.o.l......
So what usually happens.? ... they get 3% off the "asking" price and somebody still gets 7% for all of their great and wonderful negotiating skills that you probably could have done after your last Root Canal.... ..
Of course the seller is happy because he's sitting at $148,500 and his target price was $150,000 -- but properly negotiated by somebody that knew what they were doing, the deal would have went down at $145,000 or less and had the realtors out the door at 3 or 4% ..... when it comes down the the final seeds and stems of the deal, I always negotiate the realtors commission.
See, the vast majority of current buyers are only thinking what's been told to them before they purchased by others - their brother who bought a house 4 years ago, and their aunt 10 years ago, and then their Mom and Dad 20 years ago and their grand parents 40 years ago.
The advantage that buyers have today is ( that doesn't count paying $550,000 for a home thats only worth $380,000) ...... you have Trulia, Zillow and more will open .... and you're also "just starting'" to see smarter and more savvy realtors that finally "Get It", and aren't trying to drain the blood off Dracula himself, and the days of the 5 showings closer are over because of the internet and bundles of good information .... also buyers arent afraid to shop, challenge and fire a realtor in flat second ... plus they're also opening up the MLS -- face it, what good does it do anyone when it closed, thats like winning the lottery and throwing the money overboard during your first cruise (yawn).
Good luck and happy hunting.!
My advice and response is to you as a seller. Buyers will overlook your listing if you overprice, and you are hurting yourself. When I speak to a seller, I discuss with the seller what is best for the seller. What is best for you is to price right, attract the most buyers, and hire a Realtor who will market your property well. If you engage a full service Realtor as a lisitng agent, you have the right to expect regular feedback, market updates, status reports, and feedback. From your listing agent, if you have a full service lisitng, you have the right to expect over the top marketing and dedicated time and commitment to marketing and representing you. However, as indicated, on literally 100's of posts on Trulia.......if you overprice, you will reduce your potential buyer pool. My advice was written to you, as a seller, not to a buyer. If you overprice, you will loose potential buyers to competing properties. When representing a seller, or speaking to a seller, my responses are predicated upon what is in the best interest of the seller. In your case, price right......wherever that is. I can't speak to what is your right price, since I do not serive your market.
When I give advice to a buyer, I literally "push" a buyer into making any offer they deem appropriate when they sincerely like a property. I do not "push" buyers into writing offers on properties if the properties do not meet the buyer's criteria. When a buyer likes a property, but simply does not want to make an offer because of the "listing price", I take out a paper and write out all the reasons that support why they should write an offer (right size, location, they like the closet space, etc.) and all the reasons why they should not. (their offering price is too far from the list.) The list of why they should is usually long, and the list of why not is usually 1 or 2 drawbacks on the house and "price." While some buyers will come around and agree to write an offer, some still will not.
When I work for a buyer, I will ask them to direct their focus on comps, market value and achieving their goals. Going back to the heart of the matter is the fact that you are a seller. For you, the best input I can provide is that information that will assist you in making in the best decision for you. The fact is many buyers will back away, as a result of overpricing, and that is counterproductive to your goals. My explanation of why buyers back away is relevant to you as a seller, since you are tyring to capture the attention of a buyer. You want to increase your potential pool of buyers, not limit it. If you are not aware of how buyers will respond to overpricing, it can hurt you.
Best of luck to you in achieving a contract at the highest and best the market can produce for you.
"IF" ~ .. the buyer has studied the market for the last 4/5 months, understands the comps correctly and isn't throwing darts into the wind, then he is a real buyer ... especially if he is locked and loaded at the lenders end.
When properly schooled by a "quality agent" buyers won't become timid or reluctant ... but that scenario all changes for most consumers because most (not all) agents might be cute and maybe humorous but they lack communication skills and their negotiation skills are weaker than pond water ..... again, most not all.
All this fear thats discussed about "insulting the seller" is absurd, if a realtor isn't communicating with a buyer or a seller, they're unemployed ... it's really based on agents getting a "no no" for calling in a lower bid ...
Whats usually the scenario, and how does it play out..? .... the buyers makes the offer to their agent with all of their hopes and dreams for their future ... but, the sellers agent doesn't like it and turns into Little Lord Fauntleroy with a bad attitude ... he then goes back to the seller and the seller can smell the bad attitude a mile away and the seller stops - and the buyer and the seller loses, again.
If he had 1 single once of any negotiation skills whats so ever, he'd have a counter in his briefcase from the seller - not a Sara Lee crum cake.
Do you think Little Lord Fauntleroy cares..? .. heck no, he's still hoping one of the other 2,185 agents in the area will sell it someday, but he won the battle .... but what about the war.?
Worse yet, lets have a 68 second conversation and fax the figures over to the seller .... faxing is just like a drive-by shootings - it's hit or miss ..... or better yet, why doesn't he just call the IRS and "leave a message" that he won't be paying his taxes this year, thats always great form of communication.
I've done my research and know these homes are overpriced. Why should I waste time putting down an offer if it does not appear the seller gets it and is motivated or ready to sell their home? Also, we don't want to offend the seller too much with an offer 10-20% below listing. Afterall, when they realize they are overpriced and drop their asking price, we want to still be in the game to make a strong offer.
The point is... if you are willing to entertain lower offers, lower your asking price. More people will be interested in your house, and people will get the message that you are serious about selling and up for negotiating.
Tman is clueless about the home selling buying process.
The primary issue is that in most markets the leverage has shifted to buyers. In many markets no one, including Realtors, buyers, and sellers, know quite what to do.
There is a rule of thumb that if a home is price within 5% of the market value, you will see offers and showing acitivity. This depends on the market.
I tell my sellers that based on the marketing I do, during the first 2-3 weeks on the market, if we do not see showings or offers, we will adjust the price.
The residential market is emotion-driven. Will I pay too much? Will someone beat me to this 'Great Deal: I've found? The truth is somewhere in the middle. 90% of the time, the person that purchases a home is represented by a Realtor. So, at least two people need to believe that your property is a good deal: The Realtor, and the buyer.
So an overpriced home, on average, for every 5% of over pricing, cuts out 15% of the potential buyers. Remember, the buyer sets the price, not the Realtor, nor the seller. In a buyer's market, their are more buyers than sellers. So who in the right mind would REDUCE the number of buyers?
Most buyers are qualfied to make purchases in a certain price range, usually in $25,000 increments (depends on the market). So a home price at $176,000 will never be shown to a buyer qualified for $165,000.
So the short answer to Frank's question, is the reason they don't make an offer is that they never see your property.
The other major missing component is called 'terms". Price is only a part of the equation. Any seasoned Realtor will tell you that price and terms are equal. I saw a deliberately underpriced home sell AT market price with NO contingencies (appraisal, inspection, etc.) in a SLOW market.
Do not undervalue the importance of pricing to sell, as opposed to pricing to please.
There are more of us out there, writing and fighting for our offers, than you think. Most of us don't take a lowball offer, and simply fax it over to the listing agent, without any preamble, or contact. We recognize that the offer is going to require massaging, and we start that process from the initial point of contact. We often accompany the offer with the comps we're using, and ask the seller's agent to provide the comps they've used to come up with their listing price, so that we can understand where they're coming from (read that as "refute their stale old price").
We then prepare to put the gloves on, and go several rounds with an unmovable force... sometimes successfully, sometimes not. It's not about the commission, it's about the game and a certain sense of price in being able to do what we do well. Yes, there are some "order takers" out there... but there are fewer than you think, [cue patriotic music] and as you would expect, they're not the ones doing any real business out there today. The agents who have survived, continue to survive and will continue to survive are the agents who work hard for their clients every single day of the week. [ fade to black ]
However, you will also need to have a seasoned listing agent on the other end to soften the blow for the sellers in order to make a successful sale for both sides.
My theory is that if you don't try, you will never get it. If my clients will not buy a certain property unless it's X amount of money, then the X is what I will be shooting for for them - under the premises that there no multiple offers within a short period of time (even if there are multiple offers, I'd still do it if that's their wishes).
In today's market, and to protect my clients, I want them to buy the house at the lowest possible price, If the housing price goes up next week, my clients make money, if not, they did not lose that much. I would be losing sleep if I don't get them a good deal on the house. I actually get into the habit of telling my clients that I am not shy about making lower offer for them. The truth is, if the seller is interested, they can always counter back.
The fact that I am both a listing agent and a buyers agent, I get to learn and know about the mentality from both sides - how to negotiate as a buyer's agent and how to negotiate as a sellers agent. I anticipate the response and make it work.
The other thing about seller's mentality - actually, they are afraid to price the house right on the dot - they know most of the buyers will come in and want to offer low. If their bottom line is $150K and list at $150K, they worry (and rightly so) that the buyers will come in and make an offer of $140K. So, that's another reason why sellers are keeping their price up.
Funny how if neither side plays games, they might both come up with that $150K number and save all that headache.
(BTW, midnight always makes my answer kind of strange, but I am too tired to re-read it. Hope it makes sense)
Our offer is $1.6 million LESS than asking - not quite half the asking price. We evaluated the building based on cashflow and other key metrics and determined what my client's needs were and then wrote an offer based on facts. Again, the seller may not agree, but it was an offer my client determined was fair in light of the fundamental metrics, current market conditions as well as what will be required to improve the property over time to increase his investment.
Prior to writing the offer, I had a lengthy conversation with the seller's agent to determine the feasibility of our offer - we wanted to test the waters. Needless to say, it was NOT well received - in fact I was told not to waste my time. Perhaps to Tman's point, sometimes the agents get in the way of making a deal happen. Regardless of what the agent told me, the ultimate decision lies with both buyer and seller. I will do my best in positioning the offer and defending our position. The seller's agent may encourage their client to accept, reject or counter - however, it is ultimately the seller's decision. Honestly, we may catch him on the right day at the right time - he may counter. Who knows? Bottomline, my client wanted to write the offer - we did our homework and we wrote the offer. It's now my job to sell it.
Listing agents often face the discussion with sellers as you mention above. Lisitng agents encourage sellers to lower a price, but sellers believe that a buyer will make an offer for lower if and when they are interested. But, the fact is, they don't. The majority of buyers pass. Listing agents, with the agreement of the sellers, will often advertise properties as "motivated sellers" in an attempt to convey a level of flexibility in the price.
While it sometimes may be the case, an over priced listing may be due to an unrealistic seller. A difficult task for many listing agents is to properly set seller's expectations - while in theory that may work, in practice it can prove difficult.
Regardless, I encourage buyers to write offers on property they really want to purchase, regardless of the price. Armed with the facts, an offer can be communicated in a manner that supports your case - I believe as a buyer, your offer has credibility when supported by recent sales data. Once communicated, it is now up to the seller to defend their price - maybe there are other reasons why the property is worth more money that is not apparent in the recent sales data - the seller needs to sell their price.
If the seller is lucky, they will get an offer from a buyer that is well researched and clearly delivered. In these circumstances, you want an experienced negotiator to communicate and defend your position. Sometimes sellers aren't ready to hear the market speaking - if so, you hope they are represented by an experienced agent who can bring the seller back to reality.
Just some food for thought.
This whole problem of over priced homes is not the buyers agents fault or problem.
Tman almost got it except what he says needs to be directed to the seller and the listing agent not the buyer and the buyers agent. The buyers agent works for the buyer NOT the seller. The listing agent need to have the conversation with their seller.
- Sylvia says: "My theory is that if you don't try, you will never get it. I"
- Thomas says: "I will do my best in positioning the offer and defending our position - It's now my job to sell it."
I admire that attitude, it's positive and these two are going forward ..
- Then you have Deborah: "reasons from buyer for declining to make offers include: 1.) 2.) 3.) ...."
There's reasons and excuses .. and those are excuses.
The buyer is the mirrored image of you and you've categorized them in 3 lump sums ... if you look negative, dress negative and think negative - then you're flat dead negative ... and any or all negotiations are going sideways in a hurry ..
Remember, this just isn't about driving around and looking at the pretty houses and how the tulips are doing on the south side of the 8 car garage ..
It's about going "nose to nose" and "toe to toe" for the that silly person sitting next to you - the buyer, the consumer, the person that has put all of their faith and trust in you ..... (ya know, the one you'll get that fat commission from.?) - "if" you've done your job correctly ....
I understand that you'll always run into that blockhead buyer or that seller that still has his first communion money .... but the vast majority of buyers go by the agents lead, so either lead or follow, but get out of their way - or turn them over to an agent that can.
Last night I was watching the Golf Channel and they've been doing a wonderful piece on George Lopez & Lee Trevino ... and Lee makes a great statement: "when you can't get in through the front door, then go around back and kick-in a window.."
Thats what consumers need, agents that are savvy enough to kick-in a window and nobody gets their feelings hurt ..... thats the difference between an order taker and a realtor that can really negotiate for their client.
Your in Michigan? The psychological impediment is the Michigan real estate market is the poster child for disaster.
Last week some advocate group asked the Governor to declare a state of emergency, regarding the 10% ((( TEN PERCENT ))) FORCLOSED PROPERTIES.
This 3% or 6% Psychological B.S. is last year, A.K.A 30% ago.
Today and Now...
If your house hasn`t sold it is because of the price, or buyers can`t get a loan.
You need to drop the price 5K every 2 to 3 weeks.
Actually you should begin pricing your house very aggressively. You want to create a " Fear of Loss"
If there are any buyers roaming the streets, looking to buy. You want them to see your home and say.
" That is such a great deal, that if I don`t buy it someone else will. "
Maybe I haven`t answered your question.....It is not that I don't think you have a good question, In my opinion your question is outdated. I don`t think buyers are thinking that way anymore. Today's Buyers are dreaming of that incredible deals on a Foreclosure, or at an Auction. Maybe that is why they are waiting for a price drop....Remember we live in a Wal Mart World.
Good Luck
I have to agree with many of my colleagues here. I don't know many agents, who when negotiating simply say "let's knock 3-6% off the list price" as Tman suggests. All of the professionals I know, strongly suggest looking at the market, and determining the homes true value, before writing an offer.
... Sometimes that offer will be 6% off list, and sometimes it'll be 15% off list. And yes, when the offer is 15-20% off the list price, I do "whisper in my clients ear" the feasibility of our offer working. It's part of my job description to make sure that my buyer understands the likelihood of his offer working. Just because 20% off list is a reasonable value, doesn't mean that the seller will agree with us, and I want my buyer to understand our odds going in. That doesn't mean I discourage him from making the offer, I just want to inject a dose of reality into the negotiations.
... Tman's list of "Secrets" is merely a valid plea, for buyers to become more educated, and with the advent of Zillow, Trulia and others, we're seeing that every day, and I for one, welcome an educated consumer.
... Mr. Tepper's less acerbic "secrets" simply states Americans are afraid to negotiate... they somehow find it rude and/or inappropriate, well that's where we earn our bread and butter, isn't it?
Buyer's tend to be reluctant to bring in offers that are 20%, 30% 40% below list price, not because they're concerned about insulting the seller, but because they're realistic in knowing that even though they might be correct about their pricing, the seller is in no way ready to hear that number, from the position they're at right now. And they're just not willing to waste their time and effort.
Robert.....The trend in the local market should be a factor in the CMA. I don't expect that you would have read my mulitple posts on Trulia and other places, but when I discuss how to arrive at a price, I definitely include the trend of the local market, if the rate of properties going under contract is increasing/decreasing, if the volume of competition is increasing, etc. Yes, Robert, your point is valid. A complete market analysis is just that, a look at the entire market and analyzing all components.
Barry, Thanks for your comments. Again, on Trulia, you will find post after post where RE Pros discuss that an overpriced property will not sell. A Realtor does not get paid (in most circumstances) until the property closes. So, of course we want offers. Any offer opens the conversation for future dialogue, so I welcome any offer. I present offers with comps, and I much appreciate when comps are submitted with offers I recieve for sellers. If I believe the buyer should consider other comps, and my seller agrees, we will reply with a counter that also includes comps, along with any cycle/trend data. I welcome the well prepared and knowledgeable Realtor!
Absolutely. Another reason why buyers don't get to see a particular home: Home has been listed quite some time, agents (not only listing agent, but th 15 other agents that talked to the owner when the listing expired, or when they showed the house) know what the owner's bottom line is, how motivated the homeowner is ("I'm not in a hurry I don't retire for 5 years") and know their customer is not going to spend that much for a home in that condition/that size/whatever based on their feedback from other homes they've shown them.
I should clarify that this scenario is for truly discounted offers (15% or more). Where I live, it is assumed that 10% is taken off the top of any asking price, motivated seller or not. Once in a great while there is something priced to sell. In that case it sells in a day with multiple offers at 97% or so. But most properties are overpriced for the current market and no one hesitates to ask 10-10% off asking price.
"most every agent I know, when wearing the shoes of a buyer agent, encourages their buyer to write an offer based upon what he/she thinks it is worth. On Trulia, there have been several posted questions that asked, "how much lower than the list should I offer?" If you read those threads, you will find consistent answers from Realtors across the country that advised the buyer to look at comps and make an offer based upon the value of the property and not base it on the list price."
Rober asked:
Doesn't this ignore the fact that the market might be declining based on reduced demand? For example, if the last (arguably) comparable home sold for say 500K four months ago, does that mean that the new home placed on the market now is also really worth 500K based on comps? Maybe it really is worth 450 now, or even 400. I noticed when demand was strong sellers added 3-10% from last month's comps based on speculation of increased demand (which is how the prices got where they are so quickly). Nobody considered that inappropriate or "high-balling". I think buyers should always be encouraged to state what they would be willing to pay for a property. The seller can reject, but at least then they can distinguish between no interest and possibly a shift in the market.
Robert, a good agent takes into accout the declining market and how long ago a comp sold. Comps are historic data. They reflect the past. When the market was going up, yes, the house down the street got X, so lets add X%. When the market is declining we do the same thing, which is why it is important to be represented by a good agent on either side. We do know how this game works.
Buyer's tend to be reluctant to bring in offers that are 20%, 30% 40% below list price, not because they're concerned about insulting the seller, but because they're realistic in knowing that even though they might be correct about their pricing,
Elvis is correct. Note the word "buyers". There are people who throw out offers that low, but they are not usually buyers. I've had customers who consistently lowballed: If the price was 599,000 they offered 520,000. If the price was 499,000 they offered 410,000... these are not buyers. It was almost as if deep down inside they didn't really want the house. What ended up happening? They saw a house at 575,000 and ended up paying 570,000. Guess what? That was the house they wanted.
Doesn't this ignore the fact that the market might be declining based on reduced demand? For example, if the last (arguably) comparable home sold for say 500K four months ago, does that mean that the new home placed on the market now is also really worth 500K based on comps? Maybe it really is worth 450 now, or even 400. I noticed when demand was strong sellers added 3-10% from last month's comps based on speculation of increased demand (which is how the prices got where they are so quickly). Nobody considered that inappropriate or "high-balling". I think buyers should always be encouraged to state what they would be willing to pay for a property. The seller can reject, but at least then they can distinguish between no interest and possibly a shift in the market.
I think we will see more assertive offers from buyers in the coming months. Selling and buying personal homes can be extremely emotional and that is what keeps most from pushing forward an offer or accepting an offer in a changing market.

Limes Watchtower (ancient Rome)
In Stores
I propose a set of a Limes watchtower with one Roman soldier and maybe two "barbarians".
The limes was the border between the Roman empire and the rest of the world. Parts of it are now part of the UNESCO World Heritage. Hadrian's Wall is probably the best known part of the Limes.
I used this and similar images as a model: http://static.zoonar.com/img/www_repository3/ff/d1/4e/10_bfbd3cd057815d8c9a...
The Limes watchtower comes with a ladder to enter it and which can be taken in by the soldiers so they're safe inside. There are two sets of stairs inside to get to the upper level of the tower. The landing gives the watchmen a view over the surrounding area and the possibility to signal to the neighboring watchtowers.
One wall works like a huge door to ensure playability. The roof can also be taken off. The design as presented here contains of 602 pieces in white, reddish brown, dark tan, earth orange, orange and light bluish grey.
If you are interested in Roman history, please support my related project (https://ideas.lego.com/projects/7543).
Changed some pieces to a darker shade, as suggested by george.adams.

By Jim Pinto
In the age of knowledge work, outsourcing, and global competition, quite a few companies still have employee compensation systems rooted in the past. In today's business environment, pay must be performance based.
Most of today's employee compensation mechanisms originally started in the factory environment, stemming from how hourly workers were paid in a labor-orientated hierarchy. Having a job meant a fixed hourly wage (usually including paid-overtime for working beyond normal hours) with annual pay increases based on years of service, the occasional bonus, and an expectation of lifetime employment.
In a new knowledge-based business environment, many companies still cling to the same, archaic systems with set pay-ranges, periodic reviews, and almost automatic pay increases. Resentment develops when compensation does not increase, at the very least to keep up with the cost of living. With regular pay increases, employees who've had years of service tend to get comfortable and overpaid for what they are doing.
Of course, when times are tough, it is evident mediocre people who have been around for a long time are paid too highly, especially when compared to new hires or outsourcing alternatives. So, when cutbacks occur, highly-paid long-term workers are often the first to be let go.
In the old days of factory workers, labor unions formed for collective bargaining over wages, benefits, and working conditions. Today, work can easily be outsourced to offshore locations with much lower labor rates, and unions have much less bargaining power.
The best knowledge-workers cannot just be paid for the hours they work, they may always be "working." They should be stimulated by the freedom to innovate and contribute to the business. That is the wave of the future. This is what is revolutionizing human-resource attitudes in this new century. In the era of knowledge-work, employee compensation mechanisms should adapt to achieve rewards for those who generate results.
In today's business environment, the best form of compensation is performance-based. This gives people immediate and meaningful feedback. To minimize lack of fairness, employees must be given measurable objectives with goals that they themselves participate in setting.
This brings up the question of ownership. In a capitalistic society, it is important for people at all levels to share in the growth and success of the enterprise. Indeed, this has given rise to the spread of employee ownership plans, stock options, and other forms of participative involvement.
Of course, there is another element of capitalism that eventually kicks in: If you own enough stock, you do not have to work.

text: The natural gas vehicle companies, including Westport Innovations ( WPRT) and Clean Energy Fuels ( CLNE) have also come into 2011 hoping that this will be the year that the Natural Gas Act is finally passed into law after its failure to find a legislative vehicle in 2010. >>Westport: 3 Ideas Beyond the Earnings Miss In his analysis of the Congressional budget cut request, FBR Capital analyst Salisbury noted that the proposal would cut nearly $2 billion from the EPA and $3 billion from the Department of Energy. "Although we expect the President to continue lobbying for expanding clean-energy research and manufacturing, we believe that downward spending pressure makes very large new programs, such as electric car grants and natural gas vehicles, unlikely," the FBR analyst wrote on Thursday morning. However, the analyst added in a note of potential political opportunity, "summer gas prices and a more Republican majority more favorable to natural gas could change this dynamic." Yet the debate between Democrats supporting President Obama's "Win the Future" plan and the deficit hawks in the opposition leaves out one important voice in the debate: the American people. In fact, a recent Gallup poll of Americans indicated that there is widespread support for alternative energy legislation, above all other legislative priorities. Passing an "energy bill that provides incentives for using solar and other alternative energy sources" had the most bi-partisan support among Americans polled by Gallup in mid-January. Roughly 83% of Americans support the idea, an even higher percentage of Americans than support overhauling the U.S. tax code and speeding up the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, which had the second- and third-highest levels of public support. Only 15% of those included in the Gallup poll were opposed to an alternative energy focused energy bill. Notably, the alternative energy concept had more widespread support than legislation to support traditional oil and gas drilling. The Gallup poll found that 65% of Americans support a bill to expand drilling and exploration for oil and gas, while 33% oppose it. Gallup concluded from its poll results that "With Republicans in control of the House of Representatives and Democrats in control of the Senate, it would appear the proposals with the best chances of passing are those that generate strong bipartisan support. That is clearly the case for a bill that would provide incentives for increased use of alternative energy." -- Written by Eric Rosenbaum from New York. >To contact the writer of this article, click here: Eric Rosenbaum. >To follow the writer on Twitter, go to Eric Rosenbaum. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: email@example.com.

Over a year ago, I was asked to share my experiences with the #MatExp campaign. As part of the NHS change day in March 2015, my blog Ghostwritermummy, and Maternity Matters was listed on the site as a place where women had shared their stories during the Maternity Matters link ups ahead of this site's re-launch. At this point, the #MatExp campaign was only just beginning, and none of us really knew how huge it would become. It's a year since we opened the Facebook group (which now has over 1,702 members, and a 'sister group', MatExp bloggers for those who write about issues too) and a year since Matexp.org.uk was launched too. And now, #MatExp2 has begun, with #NobodysPatient.
Why all the hashtags? The campaign began and lives mainly on Twitter, and for the most part social media has been a wonderful way to connect so many people throughout the country and worldwide. #MatExp focuses primarily on the NHS maternity services, but the issues are common no matter where you live. Last month I wrote about the #NobodysPatient campaign on my blog, realising that Nobody's Patient is ME. Is it you too?

I stayed here for 3 nights in August for a business conference and the hotel is what you'd expect for a Ritz Carlton. My room had a great view of the Statue of Liberty along with a telescope I never did figure out how to use! The room was spacious, with nice furnishings especially for a NYC hotel room which are typically much smaller. The bathroom was huge with a separate tub and shower with large sink and separate toilet. The hotel is conveniently located near the new 9/11 Memorial and Wall Street. I walked around the area pretty easily and met up with a friend to eat at the nearby Stone Street which I highly recommend to anyone visiting the hotel. I used the hotel gym while there which was nicely equipped with a lovely roof top view although it was ridiculously hot in there. They need much better ventilation and A/C in that room. I ate in the lobby restaurant one day for lunch and it was adequate but overly priced for what you get and the portion. I ordered a chicken soup and salad and the soup was probably the worst I've ever had - Campbell's soup is better! It had no flavor at all. I did eat the hotel's catering via the in-hotel conference I attended and that was much better. The biggest complaint I have is that the hotel wi-fi was out for 2 of the 3 days I was there. Luckily I had my own wi-fi hotspot but considering the hotel is likely frequented by business travelers (given the location), it's ridiculous to be without wi-fi for that long. It would have also been nice to have a mini-fridge in the room as there was no where cold for me to store drinks and leftover food, snacks, etc. Other than that, it was a pleasant stay in a nice location.

Michigan employees are entitled to look at their personnel files, and the Michigan Employee Right to Know Act sets out the procedure and penalties for employers that don't allow access.
The law gives an employee the right the see the entire file before going through the time and expense of hiring an attorney. An employee must ask to see the file at "a location reasonably near the employee's place of employment and during normal business hours." The employer must mail a complete copy only if the employee can show he or she is unable to review it at its usual location.
Employees can sue for attorneys' fees if their employers refuse access, provided they follow the rules. As the following case shows, courts take that requirement literally. So can your organization.
Recent case: Kathy Varga sued Heartland Hospice after it fired her for allegedly breaking a workplace rule. Her attorney requested that the company mail a copy of her personnel report and sued when it refused.
But the court tossed out the case—since Varga herself had never requested a look at her file. The law requires her to make the request and view the file at a convenient location. As the law didn't require mailing a copy to her attorney, no penalties were due. (Varga v. Heartland Hospice, No. 05-10118, ED MI, 2007)
Final note: It's a good idea to let employees know how and when they can review their personnel files. Record each request, response and viewing so you can show you complied with the law.

Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable
presented by Zach Olauson
Doing things that are uncomfortable usually aren't the most fun, but they are a great way to learn. Six months ago I was wasting my time playing video games and not pushing myself to learn as much as I should have been. Now I am forcing myself to learn new things everyday, and trying things that I would have never even thought of doing before. I'll talk about how I push myself to learn, and try new things as much as possible, and how we all can learn how to grow by getting comfortable in being uncomfortable.
About Zach
Zach Olauson is a web developer in Chicago and is a recent graduate from Dev Bootcamp.
Virtue and Web Development
presented by Abraham Sangha
As a new web developer, I expected to be challenged intellectually as I dove into algorithms, data structures, and object-oriented design, but I was disturbed to realize that coding, especially in an Agile workflow, actually challenged me personally. Web development pushes us to our limits, not only of cognition, but of character. Character has been discussed by moral philosophers such as Aristotle, Augustine, and Aquinas using the framework of the cardinal virtues: courage, temperance, justice, and wisdom. We will consider how these virtues apply to our experiences as developers, and how we can grow not only as coders, but as human beings.
About Abraham
Abraham studied virtue in graduate school but lays expert claim to none of them. He survived Dev Bootcamp this summer and is currently developing applications at Apartments.com.
Q&A with Zach & Abraham
Interested in learning how code, curious as where to get started, or want to learn more about Dev Bootcamp? Now is your chance to ask Zach and Abraham about their experience and what they've learned first hand.

| Unhealthy frozen meals are not the exclusive domain of dinnertime; breakfast gets its fair share of entries. This 710-calorie Breakfast Bowl, with four sausage links and three pancakes, also has 34 grams of fat and 1,000 milligrams of sodium. Their site asks: "Feeling the glow yet?" Um, no.

| What could be a good protein source is clouded by enough sodium (2,100 milligrams) and calories (740) to negate the positives. These 30-fat-gram enchiladas come on a corn tortilla and are sided with Spanish rice, beans, and salsa, which in themselves could be fine without all the sodium. They're covered with imitation Cheddar cheese made with sodium aluminum phosphate and cellulose powder, among other things.

| This single-serving pizza might seem a better idea than grabbing a few slices at your local pizza joint. But still, its 770 calories are significantly more than most frozen pizzas, with 32 grams of fat and 1,330 milligrams of sodium (plus chemicals like methylcellulose and sodium stearoyl lactylate) to boot. And while this pizza is technically two servings, we're not sure who would stop at half.

It tops our list in the calorie category, coming in at 960, with an over-the-top sodium level (2,869 milligrams!) and 45 grams of fat. Ingredients like monosodium glutamate and sodium acid pyrophosphate make it even less like down-home cooking.

Here are three reasons why you should choose NOT to fight, argue, or be contentious with others.

New research from UC Berkeley and Northwestern University, based on how couples behave during conflicts, suggests outbursts of anger predict cardiovascular problems later in life.

This equation is simple:a few minutes of discipline equals hours of comfort, pleasure, a lengthened lifespan, and less time spent on medical procedures.
Arguing in and of itself can be very upsetting, so it isn't surprising that some people look to avoid it completely. The problem is that if you do that you will close off an important channel of communication that can eventually lead to a better place.
Too often in relationships you say you want peace, but find yourself creating war. The old adage, "sticks and stones may break your bones, but words will never hurt you," is actually not true, and the memory of those hurtful words can sting for a lifetime.
Did you know that a good clean fight with your partner could strengthen your relationship? That's right, healthy skirmishes improve intimacy and communication.
By no means am I suggesting that this is easy, but a healthy and thriving marriage requires hard work from both partners. Sometimes this hard work means each spouse laying down his or her arms and finally admitting, "It's not you. It's me. I messed up. How can we make this better?"
It isn't always just happy music and dancing. Singer-songwriters Katy Perry and Taylor Swift are engaged in an ongoing rivalry. The alleged incident t...

Well at Least the DNA Doesn't Look Human: "Last Days of Mars" Trailer
By Steven Lloyd Wilson | Trailers | September 18, 2013 | Comments ()
I'm surprised that they put "Mars" in the title of the movie, because it's almost a guarantee that if you put those four letters into a title the movie is going to be terrible. "Ghosts of Mars", "Mission to Mars"? I'm pretty sure that this is a causal factor, just like how ice cream sales cause murder, so just imagine how terrible "John Carter" would have been if they'd kept the title of the book. The universe would have disappeared into the subsequent singularity of suck.
So here's the trailer for "Last Days of Mars", which manages to borrow from every cliche in the book of science fiction, and still look fantastic while it does it:
Ok so this trailer looks good, like really good. Huh, with eloquence like that on display, I can't imagine why I haven't gotten a quote stuck on a movie ad yet. But I can't help noticing that this is almost exactly the plot of Doctor Who's "Waters of Mars". That's sort of unfair, because "The Doctor Did It!" is the sci-fi equivalent of squawking "Simpsons Did It!". And I'm not saying it as a criticism so much as noting that through the entire trailer I was wondering whether the TARDIS was going to show up to save the day, or whether Liev Schreiber is going to be the thirteenth Doctor. I'm okay with either.

Good meal and it reheats well. I have made this in the past but loved the addition of garlic and brown gravy mix.
Came out better than I thought. I used frozen succotash for the veggies. Really tasty. I put it under the broiler for about three minutes to make the potatoes slightly crispy....I'll be making this again.

Ride to Eran, Sagar District, MP By Sabya Sachi Ghosh
For such an important historical site, eran is hardly mentioned in our history books and even on road sign boards near the village (by the way, for at least 6 kms to this place roads cease to exist, one gets a feeling of travelling back in time when going towards eran on loose gravel tracks). This site is the best and the oldest example of the early Gupta Era temples dating back to 350 CE. I fail to understand why our historians and education boards have conveniently omitted the mention of this historical treasure trove from our curriculum.

But never have I seen a more beauteous ruin placed atop a cliff that overlooks a horseshoe shaped valley...

This album contains the first group of 9th century temples (jain) situated beside the sapt matrika cave near the village of pathari badoh. a young local lad who is also the asi appointed guard at the site was kind enough to show us around all the ruins of this place. from kurwai our place of stay, the ride to pathari was smooth, but after here we had to take the dirt track and offroad to all other sites within a radius of 50 kms.

Ride to the Neelkanthswar Temple of Udaipur, Vidisha, MP By Sabya Sachi Ghosh
|Sabya Sachi Ghosh & His Trusted Royal Enfield
Where shall I begin...let me start by emphatically stating that this masterpiece is so far the finest example of temple architecture i have ever laid my eyes upon....it was a humbling experience to view the epitome of sculptural splendour that human hands are capable of crafting....and deep down I do feel sad that I do not know the names or the lives of any of those sculptors that toiled in the sweltering sun of central India to leave behind this poetry in stone.

Demystifying The R Score
What is this devilish creation that has turned otherwise respectful, kind and caring students into grade-thirsty, ill-wishing and at times argumentative students? Not least of all when one considers that no other university in any other province in Canada, with the exception of the University of Toronto in Ontario (transfer students), even considers the R-Score in a student's application for admission! Devised by Quebec universities in 1995 to be an objective way to rank applicants by academic achievement, the R Score is a statistical method used to correct the differences in grading systems in colleges. It is used to assess the relative strengths of groups in a college as well as among cohorts in different colleges. The following is a collection of information to help you better understand the R Score and its implications on your academic future as students and for those teachers who are trying to understand why the grade point average (GPA) seems to matter less to students in Quebec.

This Shit is Bananas - B-A-N-A-N-A-S! Human Rights Issues on Banana Plantations By Jacqueline Lumley
|Pic © Jan Sochor
The banana plantations in South America, specifically located in Ecuador, such as Chiquita and Dole abuses their workers rights, including but not limited to anti-union campaigns, poor working conditions, child labor and low and unfair wages. Thus, the exploitation of workers is staggering. Many of the issues occurring on these plantations today have to do with the use of chemical substances that are being sprayed onto the plants by workers who are unaware of the safety protocols that should take place, and worse still, the effects these dangerous chemicals pose to their health.

Zombies in Popular Culture By Marilyne Trépanier
In our society, many events have created fear among the public. Some of the events include, but are not limited to, the World Trade Centre terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, to ongoing wars between countries like Israel and Palestine, as well as natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina. Social conventions have led us to fear the day when we will be no more and people are often afraid to lose their loved ones. Zombies in popular culture have been used in many texts as metaphors for the fears felt by society at a given time. They are a part of a widespread phenomenon which reflects some of the worse and at times, best parts of our culture. With reference to Kyle Bishop's Dead Man Still Walking: Explaining the Zombie Renaissance (2009), I will describe the history of the zombie genre, will then explore how the widespread zombie phenomenon is linked to society's fears at a given time, and will conclude by explaining why is important to discuss and understand this issue.
