[QUOTE="randomUPSISer, post: 655960, member: 24399"] Hoax, I have to respectively disagree. UPS has been shifting decisions up, up, up the chain. Its to the point now we aren't allowed to do anything without a Application managers approval. Much like people complain about the federal government making decisions far away in an ivory tower, having managers so far removed from the decisions they make (For example I'm relatively certain my App Manager doesn't even know what my apps do! ) leads to poor decisions. I think its similar for the operations as well. Having been out in the operation one lifetime ago, I can remember decisions being forced upon the management team which were less than ideal. After those decisions failed, the management team gathered together and implemented custom solutions for the area which resulted in MUCH better results, and even less man hours. The higher up a decision is made, the more "generic" the decision has to be. This leads to less than ideal results everywhere. Relying on a few select people in management is simply a result of you not trusting the people within your organization to make good decisions. Not trusting your people directly reflects on the upper management (who consequentially are being given the ability to make more decisions??) as their influence has hired people below them, all the way down to the people at the bottom. If the people below you aren't good decision makers, its because YOU weren't a good decision maker when you hired them! :sad-very: There is an imaginary line in there, but I truly think its after 2-3 layers of management have been removed completely. We could still stand to lose a TON of "management" and end up with a much flatter organization. [/QUOTE]
