Sinter Klaas Is Comin' To Town

So, as you contemplate the possibility of treats in your carefully hung stocking, and face the probability of a lump of coal in the toe of the sock, consider what you have earned. Have you been naughty? Or, have you been nice?

And, either way, does it make a difference? Will your accomplishments be recognized, or have they sunk beneath the waves of urgency that threaten to swamp the ship that carries the important cargo that makes or breaks the future?

Is your organization one that lavishes bounty on all, irrespective of contributions to the profits and performance that make bounty possible - an indiscriminate, if jolly, old elf spreading joy and largess carried in a magical sleigh pulled by absolutely amazing reindeer?

What does either outcome portend for your future? If your efforts and outcomes are not proportionately rewarded, are there other factors that make a compelling case for staying where you are? If not, why are you still there?

You are nearing a decision point. Make one, and make it count.

Note: For those of other persuasions, Sinter Klaas, politically incorrect, is the Santa Claus of The Netherlands.  Worse, from a PC perspective, he is accompanied by a helper, Schwarze Piet.  The extraordinarily tolerant Dutch seem to live with the situation comfortably, though.  So, I'll continue to report history . . .
