[QUOTE="Paul Chou, post: 229527"] Somebody used the term BIG BOSSES before. That's hysterical unless you are talking girth. Say you are one of the Big Bosses, and, you report to a Bigger Boss (Springstein, perhaps). You are scared that your Motley Crue of miscreants may not be capable of doing a good job on this exceedingly important project. If the Motley Crue fails, you are on the hook and that can lead to ugliness. So, as a Frightened Big Boss, you engage the services of IBM. You can't lose. Money for IBM is a no brainer. Someone very familiar to UPS is on IBM's Board of Directors. (I forget his name. Abby something, I think.) Now if IBM fails, your safe. HECK, that's IBM. If they can't do it, who can? IBM, IBM, he's our man. If he can't do it, no one can. And, in all seriousness, IBM can bring to the table more resources in less time than Condolisa Rice. You, as a no boss who often chats with your boss, are not being trusted or valued by the Big Bosses. And, the Big Bosses don't trust there own talent. The final kicker in this story occurs when the IBM consultants become managers of UPS employees. Can't make this stuff up. Worthless emplyees, Scared s-less big bosses and IBM managing our employees. You just cannot make this stuff up. [/QUOTE]
