Last night I had a dream that some star-struck fellow was flying to CA with me. We stopped at an open bar and a crazy Texan pulled out a gun. He was tackled by my traveling buddy, but got shot, so I left before the bar tender stuck me with his tab.
I wonder if he was ok?

Marc Clifton wrote: Didn't hurt at all
I vividly remember two dreams I had as a child where I felt tangible pain: one, I was attacked by wolves and bitten in the side, the other, I was being crushed by an elephant.
Considering the pain I experienced versus the pain you would have experienced from a bullet, I'm glad you DIDN'T feel the pain...

Amen to that.
Also read as : People who read self-help books all the time have problems that reading can't fix.
The self help and therapy industry is a vampire preying on people who have been hurt, or have hurt themselves.
I too dabbled in pacifism once.

What were you thinking? Saving Satan? 
If you'd had a CCW permit and a decent gun, and your state let CCW holders carry in a bar, Bill would still be alive and your shoulder wouldn't hurt the next morning.

Having a bag to match the shoes is important, too.

Sorry, did I miss it? What incentive?

Oh, you are saying it is an incentive for the company. I see. I misunderstood and thought you were saying it was a big incentive for someone to go get a job there. My mistake.

It's alright, after you asked I started to wonder if I haven't expressed my idea the wrong way.
Thanks for asking.

If it's any consolation, I have no idea what incentive either...

Based on the OP's reply to me I think OP means incentive for the company, not the individual. That makes more sense.

Nope, look again. See "IT jobs", major red flag. Next, look up "Capita Managed IT Solutions", look at their careers section.
Run away screaming.

I'd love to work in an office that had "T.E.A.M." printed on A3 sheets on the bosses' office glass wall. I do very much hope they've used that acronym to make some profound comment on the nature of working collaboratively.
(I think I would go with "Treat Everyone As Morons")

Rearrange them to "M.A.T.E."
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.
