Ha!  Thankfully, I learned their evil ways well.  Or, I learned the
evil skills they should have (Project management classes that they
just did for the resume line, but that I did to poke fun at project
management, and because it was required-- well, and I like the
instructor)...

the PM Inst. had laughed when I said "so basically, it could be called
"covering your ass" class".
Well, it was "getting out of the blame game",  too, which sounded
swell to me.  Wish the uppers had learned that part...  how to be
constructive, etc..

But basically that's part of why I'm like, boggled.  This documented
and annotated storyline paints an insane picture, ya know?

Sounds like I have actually encouraged others to speak out, so fuck
yeah, that's a bonus.  That's the only thing that can save us.

One man is powerful and all, but it's those crazy "people in groups"
that I talk about which really get things done.

Ha*2!  What, do you work here or something?  How could you possibly
guess something like that?!?!?!?  WITCH!!, WITCH!!

Yup, nailed it, but-- they've gone too far, too many times.  They were
right on the line for a while, but then they started crossing it,
so... the darling seems to be poised to take down those who've prop'ed
said darling up.

A *real* pointy headed big-boss would have said "thanks so much for
bringing this to me, I'll look into it" and then had my direct manager
rip into me, vs. being all dismissive and whatnot themselves, on the
record (related, I assume, to the "surrounded by yes people" problem).

I'm, of course, a pragmatist (or maybe that's a realist), so I'm not
exactly holding my breath, but it feels damn good to be forging a path
for those that also feel as I do.  Dispelling that fear, ya know?
w00t!  That's what I was actually after, after all.  Happy People.

Again!
