The reaction has been rather, well, negative from those who are &ldquo;creative people.&rdquo; Some thought it had to be an April Fool&rsquo;s joke, but it was published on the 2nd, not the 1st. The article acknowledges the great value creative people have in a company, but then is condescending in it&rsquo;s recommendations for managing them. The big issue was #5: Pay them poorly.</p>
