Some call me "Flem"

Level the Playing Field...

Imagine two swimmers competing in a race in an intra-company swim-a-thon. One swimmer has nutritionists, a  personal trainer in addition to a phenomenal swim coach and big name sponsors. He comes to the race adorning a company sponsored high quality swim trunk and is ready to compete.

The other swimmer also has a phenomenal swim coach. He comes to the race wearing a company sponsored high quality winter coat and believes he too is ready to compete. The signal is given to begin the race. The two begin to swim.

The swimmer with the trunks wins and the swimmer with the winter coat loses.

The company pulls its sponsorship from the losing swimmer and decides that he needs swimming lessons, drills, tests, and benchmarks from a highly qualified teenage lifeguard before he can compete in a race again.

Meanwhile, the winner of the race is basking in his glory and the company could be no prouder!
