I think your statement above is the way you wish things would be but I would challenge its validity.
A hundred people (a slight exaggeration, I think) reported Mr. Nail in his illustrious career. It was told to me that he used to say "ka-ching" every time someone would drop a dime on him and that that meant he was doing things right. Since he achieved, what?, vice president, and all he had to do was give an apology, people got to thinking that their careers were likely to be ruined and Mr Nail's career was likely to be furthered. NO ONE BELIEVES IN THE SECRECY OF THE BUSINESS CONDUCT LINE. No one I know anyway. So, if you are in any position of power, you just might want to do a survey on this subject.
The Jimmy V quote (Don't give up. Don't ever, ever give up.) refers to a disease this is in remission.
I left UPS after enough hatred and psychotic managers had made it impossible to do my job successfully. (Oh, yeah. My job had been taken away from me. I forgot. Must have been my mild manner. I never spat at anybody. I treated people with respect. That makes for a witches brew for failure.) Mr. Nails and Mr. Puts are two of the sickest individuals I have ever met. And, I could get dozens of people to back that up. One down. One to go.
