[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 989636, member: 7966"] That should alert you that something is amiss in the underlying assumption that IE runs things and makes the final decision. If IE was really the big kahuna, IE would be held accountable for the results. Management 101 - Authority has to be given before a person can be held responsible. If you consider the Teamsters, they fight every effort to give authority to Union hourly people because they understand this basic premise. If management has to tell an hourly what to do then the hourly can be held accountable for the execution of the directive. You see this approach positioned and repeated hundreds of times a day on this site. Now, back to the original discussion: IE develops a plan. Operations has the authority to change it if they want to take the responsibility for the results. It's easier to just take the IE plan and not assume responsibility and your job is more secure. The above is the nemesis of publicly owned corporations. The entire management structure is based on averting risks - not an official systemic policy but a developed systemic survival tactic.
