[Patrick Giagnocavo]

"This has been my experience working for large corporations: the  
creative, innovative and more efficient workers are the first to get  
the ax. They are regarded as loony, non-conformist and lazy. Their  
gifts of foreseeing the future and trying to get people to prepare  
for it are resented by those with second-tier intelligence, which are  
conformist rather than innovative. Conformists tend to hold the  
stable management positions of power below the top. Conformists last  
in organizations, innovators either go up to the top tier or are  
forced out, depending on whether they are also able to build power  
bases.
