Re good managers: I still can't fathom what it must feel like to have been a department head or a division manager at WorldCom, Enron, Lucent, Nortel, etc. I mean, one day, you're an important decision-maker at one of the world's premier companies. The next day, you're pounding the pavement looking for work. I, personally, will never forget the day that Compaq's CEO came out and said that his company was taking market share from Dell. That was what, 1998? And they call CEO's these days liars? One other thing: Management everywhere, didn't matter where you worked, would imply that if we all work together as a team and embrace the company's vision for growth, you, as an employee, will be rewarded with a rising stock price. I mean, even the maintenance guy pushed the broom a little faster than he normally would. And no one understands this more than Greenjeans himself. But what now? How to motivate workers in a collapsing system? Sure, there are punitive things, but that's different from promoting policies that encourage employees to go "the extra mile" because it's in their own financial interest. Managers these days have a lot of difficult issues. PB
