Wow. Your post is the most pessimistic, morale destroying thing I've read on this thread.

Good thing it's completely wrong.

I see some of the really old-name pessimists and bashers have shown up. Paging Deputy Fife, paging Deputy Fife!

Well, I hope so, but I express my convictions. I am not a yes man. I call'em as I see'em. You remind me of an inspector's writeup I received about my advice to my D.O. when I was asked how we would do in our missions against our evaluation site. I told him we were going to get "killed". I was singled out for being negative in the report. We got "killed", not because I told the truth, but because of the situation, and it was as I saw it. That is what advisors are to do. You may kill the messenger, but the message remains.

P.S. I as not fired. I was praised by my boss.
