OSE focuses on partners, not employees. Here are comments about great employees:

  • 10 things really amazing employees do - Inc - [1]
  • A great engineer is worth 100 average ones - Zuckerberg
  • But this is only part of the story. A-players need a pat on the back now and again. What’s interesting is that they only value pats on the back from other A-players. They don’t value the approval unless they respect and admire the person giving it. So developing a critical mass of A-players has an added benefit: The company tends to repel B-players and attract other A-players, reinforcing what it has built. Zappos employed this theory when it famously offered its employees $2,000 to quit under the assumption that A-players aren’t motivated by money and only B-players would take the deal. - [2]
