[QUOTE="soberups, post: 818761, member: 14668"] A better analogy might be to say that the goal of any manager is to put his employees into a "lose-lose" situation. This is accomplished by placing expectations onto them that cannot possibly be met except by cutting corners. If they fail to meet those expectations...they are held responsible. If they [I]live up[/I] to those expectations but get caught taking the shortcuts that made it possible in the first place....they are held responsible. The managers hands stay "clean" either way because as long as he can show on paper that "the employee has been instructed in the proper methods" then the [I]blame[/I] for anything that goes wrong can be shifted onto that employee.
