I dropped my monocle!

Are you familiar with the Stanford Prison Experiment?

I'm of the opinion that if more guards in prisons were subjected to a simulation such as this, both as guards, and then as prisoners, it would be a very powerful learning experience. Thoughts?

Holy shit, it's not there anymore! They are covering this shit up! ALLEGEDLY!

I have a question regarding Verizon mobile. Much of what you describe in regards to requirements are similar to those my wife delt with in her two most recent jobs. She worked at the call center for Verizon home phone services, and later in both sales and then retention (The people who you call to cancel services.) for the local cable company in her area. In all those positions, she eventually became one of the top ten salespeople (Or in the case of retention, best at preventing losses.) in her state.

With Verizon, and later the cable company, she was fired on false pretences because from the managerial perspective, she was one of their most expensive employees due to commision and other bonuses she earned. Of her co-workers in both places, only a few of those she knew remain, and all of those were the worst salespeople, or agreed to take much lower paying managerial positions.

Are things much the same as a salesman on the mobile end of Verizon's business, or are the mobile salespeople less likely to be fired for being too good at their jobs?
