From: Sabri Oncu
Hi Charles! Good to hear from you. I have not seen you around for quite a while. How have you been? I don't think there is much point in furthering this "debate", as it appears to me to be more about what certain words mean and they don't but let me object one last time and I will leave this at that. Getting underlings to the tough work does not take any competence. The underlings are already prepared to do the tough work when they join these firms. The incompetents are us: I have tried many times to convince my coworkers that the real power resided with us and if we got organized and stopped production until we get what we want, the upper management had nothing to sell and hence no way to make profits. But of course I had always failed. Whenever I made such arguments my coworkers told me things like this: "It is dangerous to have such ideas such as organizing against the upper management in the US. If you do that, they throw you out." So it is us who are incompetents and competence does not reside with the upper management either. It has to be looked for elsewhere. Best, Sabri ^^^^^^^^ Greetings , Sabri ! I feel you. Professionals, professionals everywhere, but not a competent one in the lot . Although, we might have to give the Devil a bit of due credit. The Man is making superprofits still. But one day ....! We'll get Competent. Charles
