   The Bosses NEVER really understand what they're asking
   for. That's not their function. They are task-masters,
   not sages. THEIR bosses are even MORE oblivious, and
   vengeful.

   GET OUT of such establishments as FAST as possible even
   IF it means less money. At least you'll still have your
   pride and soul.

   As I've said - what started as a Good Thing very quickly
   became 'Dilbert' once Big Corporate got involved.

   I always have this vision of a young Van Gogh getting a
   steady job at "Popular Art (Amsterdam) Inc" ............

   "Procedure" gives the Bosses an excuse for their paychecks.
   Doing things fast and efficiently cuts them out - makes them
   look as useless as they really are.

   I was always able to find smaller outfits where Fast,
   Efficient and Creative was coveted and appreciated.
   I could identify Needs they didn't know existed and
   act on them. The checks weren't quite as big - but ....
