  1. This is a fantastic discussion from David Whitcomb, Emeritus at Rutgers. Among many other interesting points, I noted his (Beckerian) suggestion that ATD’s early success relied on hiring great programmers whom other potential employers might have discriminated against. @BabsonFinance/1354843297496395778

        Notes that after Citi acquisition, employees including “secretaries were no longer allowed to get bonuses or stock options”… we lost all the feeling of a flat structure. At time of the sale, ~50–55% of ATD’s equity had gone to employees (initially stock grants, later options).
