Recycle the analysts

Mm, maybe I can come up with another idea after my meetings and coffee. Not sure why your team meetings are not working.

As an analyst, why try when trying involves a significant amount of more effort and work, whereas the benefits are not proportionally more than what other analysts, who don't try, receive? Analysts don't get bonuses, and the vast majority will be moving up a level at year end anyway.

You have some responsibility to get your team to want to drive for you. But analysts, myself included, are way too selfish and conceited about their worth. If they aren't doing their job go through the proper hoops to replace them
