Joining the dev group has been inevitable, but I wanted to hold out until the new chief of dev came along ( I was told January, but I guess they didn't get their budget so they have to fix their problems now )
solve bob needs newspaper development
given glenn is a newspaper developer
solution glenn does newspaper development
solve glenn does development
given only dev does development
solution glenn joins dev
but bob doesnt trust dev, so...
solve bob trusts dev
given bob trusts glenn
solution glenn trusts dev
and
dev trusts glenn
So now it it gets down to the interesting part. How to solve for mutual trust between glenn and dev?
solve glenn trusts dev
dev trusts glenn
given glenn mistrusts dev
dev mistrusts glenn
solution
bob's desire to control compensation implies that bob doesn't trust glenn
if bob's control over compensation builds trust, then the control should be both ways in order to be mutual. It also folows that he should control dev's compensation.
