Is anyone versed enough in common HR practices to actually explain this behavior? It seems much more likely that this is some perverse instantiation of an aggressive incentive to the HR team that actual incompetence. Is Uber rewarding HR for minimizing actions taken?
CIA wouldn't be doing their job if they didn't have plans. I'm sure they have plans for plenty events more unlikely than the president asking them to go get Snowden.
I was thinking about this the other day. I think when I checked last the US death toll was about 3 times that of Sweden.
This is all good. The swedish government has been spending ridiculous amounts of money building away death in traffic.
But, I suspect the americans probably drive a lot more than the average swede. I think if you change the death toll from per-person to per-driver the numbers will change and if you change it to per-driven-mile I'm not sure there will be a difference any more. Anyone know if there are numbers on this? Can't be impossible to produce. Maybe you can estimate using national gas consumption?
