Amazing how these MBA's can filter everything by the $$$ and miss the mark on how what they do affect the total health of the company they supposedly are representing. Bean counters know the cost of everything and the value of nothing. A company where I used to work is just about totally mismanaged out of business one cut at a time.
The best thing to do is to compete against them.
Almost 63 here, with another 3-4 years to go in order to be where I want to be when I am ready to retire. In the meantime, my current company was the up-and-coming upstart competitor, with a wild-west mentality when I first joined. It was great, but as time progressed, I see it's being pulled down by the same bean-counter mission-creep that the previous 2 companies fell victim to.
With the retiring (and dying) of the original American movers & shakers in the industry, the shift I see happening is not giving me a warm-fuzzy for the future, or the future of my grandkids.
I have the title and outline already, and I need to write my behind-the-scenes book that I have been threatening for years...
