Not to explain but the same sort of BS is going on within the company where I presently work. I sat in on a CEO level meeting just the other day. The attitude was the same, outsource everything, with no question as to the value added by doing so. There was absolutely no attitude towards "what can we do internally, or how can improve our internal efficiency". It was automatic that we had to outsource. Herd mentality in total. I guess all the big shots feel they have enough, or can can hang around and manage one of the outsourcing contracts that comes along. I sense the frustration within my company growing, everyday. The blue collar and lower white collar workers are becoming increasingly frustrated, and they are not being listened to. The first time in my career that on the net I have sensed that. Most do their jobs well because of personal pride, but are the point they will do little extra. Pardon my language but the mentality is becoming increasingly "Fuck em". I sense the same thing - our wealthy elite are only looking out for themselves with little regard for the rest. They have a mass hallucination that they are primarily responsible for their own success. What they are missing is that it is the American system that is actually responsible. By ignoring the good of the whole, they are sowing the seeds of their own destruction. We don't pay our leaders megabucks just because they have sparkling personalities and make the "hard decisions". We're counting on them to provide true leadership and vision. They're not earning their keep any more. BC
