[QUOTE="canon, post: 172998, member: 8423"] [b]Re: part 2[/b] Excellent post. It's amazing how much of what you said back in '03 is echoed by others today. The changing of command ceremonies where the "new guy" used to come in and introduce himself with promises of improvement and change for the better is a thing of the past at my center. The new center manager's simply show up one morning and that's it. No fanfare, just a new face. Out of curiosity, has anything in that post changed for you over the last 4 years? Has it paid off for you in the sense of promotion, or become more difficult to introduce change? In seeing the commonalities of your post with others in this thread, the notion that things haven't changed would be inaccurate to say the least. At the production level, PAS has been introduced in that time frame and it seems mgmt is more restricted now than any other time I can remember.
