You know when your company is doing well because you earn lots of money from your happy customers. This then brings about a outstanding reaction which would challenge einstien to work out
Your company employs more managers, admin staff,office people H.R people and possibly maybe if your lucky one or two engineers to help out with all the extra work.
Then unfortunately times get hard your customers want it cheaper your costs are soaring so it`s time to trim the fat reduce the overheads so lets get rid of.....wait for it don`t go too early yes you sussed it the two engineers you set on!!!!!
Why is it when times get hard the first people to go are the ones that make the company most money??
When did we start to need a H.R department to do a job that the manager is supposed to do.
Why are managers not allowed to make a decision any more.
Why is the question on your managers lips how cheap can we do it not will it last longer if we buy the correct parts.
And lastly but probably more important why are so many people more intent on bodging than doing the job right!!
