Average is over, Tyler Cowen:

"There is no high morale without exclusion, no integrity without exclusion, and no corporate culture without exclusion. If the management styles at today's quality companies seem so nice, so friendly, and sometimes so downright heartwarming, it is possible only because those cultures are so very picky, snobbish, and elitist at the same time. There is no open door.

Basically what's happening is that a lot of jobs are becoming more like Google - you have to meet a certain grade or you are out[.]"
