Everyone is talking about who's rising and who's falling - [/SIZE] [SIZE=2]I don't see much of this going on. 3. Distrust reigns - [/SIZE] [SIZE=2]Definately see alot of this everyday, some for good reason but mostly due to past experience. 4. Numbers rule - [/SIZE] [SIZE=2]oooh strongly agree on this one between misload count and having workers work the least amount of time possible. 5.
