I raved before about Guitar Center where my kid works, and how smart they are with their workers. They must have a dozen different commission and incentive programs that reward every type of sales goal from gross sales to warranty sales and maybe 6 different employee of the month/year type things. This week, they just outdid themselves with a "Employee Musician" program. They are setting up a web site for the musicians that work there to upload their music, and Guitar Center will upload it to Youtube, Itunes and the rest at no charge and cut a check to the employee for any music downloads from a pay site. They'll also allow liberal time off for gigs, even a leave of absence for a tour. I suspect they are trying to expand into the music promotion business while making their workers happy. I'm just glad to see a example of a US company that knows if you make your employees happy, they'll make you money. My kid found out about it when he nervously approached his boss asking to leave early for a last minute gig and was told "no problem, bring us a live CD"
