didnt you know? people are no longer employees, they have the rights
of the old 'employee' laws (what a farce) but they are now just tools to
get the job done, to get profit made. Humans ARE just work units, they
are just another resource. Personnel was renamed 'human resources
division' in most corporations years ago.

you only need one 'level' of management, the HO should treat regional
and local managers on the same and liaise. Its only when you have
two/three tiers systems that the people up top dont know what the people
at the bottom are doing. oh! but then there wouldnt be any room to wrap
that red-tape around and the beaureaucrats couldnt have that!

(perhaps the last person can switch off the light?)
