T. Stearns Summary

Summary T. A Stearns is a national tax accounting firm that is used by individuals mostly during tax season. The reasons to why the company is some popular amount people is because it uses a superior computer database and tools to help the company and the customer get the best results possible. Within the company there are four very skillful and knowledgeable programmers in the field of law and taxes that are in charge of developing the software for the company. The four were Tom Andrew, Cy Crave, Merge Dector, and Megan Harries. These four people quickly became a team and shared time with each other outside of work. At this time the company was asking for all the programmers in the company to develop a program and as a reward they would be

This shows two things that the programers are not really motivated to work and the only purpose of working is so they can maximize their social life. Also, T.A Stearns the company incentives do not have significant values for the employees. Now there must be a way to get the employees to feel like they 're the ones benefiting from the company when they achieve something good.
