Exactly what's wrong with this country. Companies want to treat their employees like children and end up worse off. My wife is a teacher and this attitude is even invading the public school system with specialists and administrators who haven't set foot in a classroom in twenty years telling the teachers (who are there every single day) how to do their jobs. It never works.



Yep! My "little buddy" here, gilligan, has it right in the old nutshell alright, Mark.

There's NOTHIN' in all the world as infuriating as having some joker who blatantly possesses vastly inferior experience levels to you in any job you're undertaking, both with the technical aspect of it AND/OR with "people skills". And usually of course these kinds of jokers achieve their positions of authority through the means of either nepotism, or at least to their credit sometimes, some sheepskin they've persevered to achieve from some higher scholastical enterprise which "clearly" states something to the effect.."You IS now a smart person"!!!

Oh YEAH, Mark! I'd run into THOSE KINDS of managers ALL THE TIME myself before I retired from my position as an airline service supervisor!

BUT, I never once went home on my own volition, dude. BUT, I was SENT HOME a couple of times by these idiots after I expressed my opinion to them face-to-face about their low levels of competence.

AND, that's why to this day I appreciated being in a friggin' UNION. Because unfortunately, EVEN with all the "Deadwood" union employees I had the misfortune of working along side all those years, I found PERCENTAGE-WISE there tended to be a MUCH HIGHER number of these kinds of "deadwood" MANAGERS, and as you may have noticed I've never been shy about pointing examples of inepititude out to ANYONE regardless of their "title", and thus AT LEAST that lousy union I belonged to was able to keep me gainfully employed with that airline after I DID express these OBVIOUS FACTS to the powers that be!!!

(oh yeah...and just as yourself, I've NEVER been one to suffer fools gladly EITHER, ya know)

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
