The Ultimate Pay for Performance Song: Santa Claus is Coming to Town

Posted on Tuesday, December 25, 2007 by Frank Roche

I was watching this Bruce Springsteen version of Santa Claus is Coming to Town and came to a realization: It’s the ultimate pay for performance song. Look at the lyrics:

You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I’m telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
He’s making a list
And checking it twice;
Gonna find out Who’s naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you when you’re sleeping
He knows when you’re awake
He knows if you’ve been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!
O! You better watch out!
You better not cry
Better not pout
I’m telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

If you could make your pay-for–performance message this tight you’d be in like Flynn.

Merry Christmas. And happy pay for performance.

    This made me laugh out loud. Thanks KHR! Also, much like PFP there are many who claim it is a myth and not real. As an HR guy and a Comp guy both, I can assure you – yes Virginia, there is pay for performance.

    JT…that’s even better. Yes, Virgina, There Is Pay for Performance would be a great name for an article. Excellent.
