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. > Because Marketing guy isn't the one who's going to get the blame.

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.
