[QUOTE="constructively dissatisfi, post: 687440, member: 6988"] Don't lose sight of the big picture on this. Anyone who's had any experience with the Corporate Office can't deny that it's totally bloated. There are MANY people doing jobs that don't need to be done. Most of them are good, capable people, but they don't get to choose what they're assigned to work on. The real culprits in this whole mess are the people who were on the Management Committee 15 or 20 years ago. They're the ones who took the SMALL Corp Office from Connecticut and turned it into the MASSIVE Corp Office in Atlanta. During the 90s they were hiring and promoting more people than they knew what to do with. The way for someone to get ahead back then was to hire themselves a little empire. friend&A and BD/Marketing were by far the most notorious for this. Now the true guilty people are long gone living fat on their IPO killing. Their minions are running the show. There is no question that the Corp Office needs a real good flush. The problem is that most of the people who really deserve to be flushed are the ones deciding who's actually going to get the axe. In the long term it's good that the swamp is being drained. But it's still terrible that a lot of good, hard working, capable and innocent people will be the victims and most of those who had a hand in causing the mess will probably still be around. If Jim Casey wasn't spinning in his grave while this debacle was being created over the past 20 years he surely is because of the way it's being handled now. [/QUOTE]
