[QUOTE="JustTired, post: 304202, member: 10234"] LPGuy Good to hear from you. Always enjoy your posts. I, too, hope to retire shortly. But, still, I'm concerned with the direction this company is going in. There seems to be a real paradigm shift in the thinking from the top. Whether this is being caused by greed or a true concern for the future survival of the company is not clear to me. I'm leaning towards the former in the guise of the latter. I've seen a few good managers go by the wayside over the years. Some retired when the writing was on the wall. Others were either bought out or let go. While some were very fair in the manner they treated their people, others were somewhat abrasive. But even they would ruffle feathers above if they thought something needed to be done or changed. There doesn't seem to be anybody left that fits that mold. Of course, they would fit like a square peg in a round hole in the micromanaged style we have today. As far as diversity goes......I do think race and gender has some bearing on who gets promoted. I'm all for it if the qualifications are there. But, then again, what qualifications are neccesary to do nothing more than pass on orders from above and relegate the decisionmaking to those up the chain? I haven't seen or heard of a case where micromanagement has been a good thing in the overall health of a company. Do they teach courses in micromanagement at universities? Maybe.....but I haven't heard of any. This would lead me to think that it can't be a good thing. JMO [/QUOTE]
