Re: what will really happen said by Goober:What is it that leads you to believe that the execs don't work as hard/smarter than the underlings? I've seen the VP schedules... Let's just say that they put in a lot of time on extra-curricular items, like golf tournaments and fund raisers. That is hardly "work". Meanwhile, I am at work every day, doing to work of probably two people, constantly having to put projects on hold because we are bombarded with more work than the department can handle. Like I said earlier, I'm one of those people whose phone can ring at any hour of any day and I have to be at work ready to solve problems quickly.
As for them not being as smart, that is one of those, depends on the exec judgment calls. I've seen some pretty boneheaded decisions in upper management, totally contrary to what is actually going on. Imagine a hiring freeze that prevents a department from replacing a deceased member of the team. Now you have a team that works less efficiently because work exceeds the available manpower. It comes down to bad decisions eroding confidence. -- "This is a bus. You know how big a bus is?" |
