Well, thanks for what I take as a complement!! <br /> <br />Though, I can't take credit for discovering anything in this context,..it's just been a learning experiance...."life" I mean..;-) <br /> <br />Where I work, I have a solid supervisory position, been there 26 years, worked my way through college here in fact before accepting an offer for what became a career. <br /> <br />Few years ago, the company goes on this "new blood" kick... <br /> <br />I'll admit the new blood they brought in was uncommonly sharp, complete with their backstabing henchmen they salted out among the ranks....but the odd thing was, they didn't know squat about running the business. Everytime something non-text book came up, they were sunk, and I mean SUNK! They come running with the dangedest expectations for help, when they never did a thing to deserve it <br /> <br />I am a company man, I know the owners personally, so I continued to serve the company, wherever the newbies agennda suited the companies best interest, despite the unrelated BS I saw the newbies pulling on guys who had been faithful employees for years. <br /> <br />At one such instance I made the the "floats to top" commentary off the cuff, not knowing one of the prime henchmen overheard it, till I hear his brtrayed sounding "hey! that's not nice" rebuttal behind my back.... <br /> <br /> <br />It was funny, a moment I will treasure forever. <br /> <br />I knew *that* incident would earn me a day in the sun,...but thankfully I have a knack for knowing when to sidestep at the last second, letting them take the brunt of their own ire, head on...=)
