In answer to your final point - it appears that the western world now has fully entered the religion of the Almighty Buck, first commandment "Thou shalt have no master before me." I'm guessing that we've been sliding into this since about 1945, to pick a completely random date.

Since 1945, or whenever, it has kept getting worse. Also Accountability in Management is almost non-existant, Managers make the same mistakes over and over again and lay off the people under them for those mistakes. Hardly anyone lays off the Upper Management, and even if they do, they got that Golden Parachute payoff. *"Lady I only speak two languages, English and Bad English!" - Corbin Dallas "The Fifth Element"*
Post #119,016 by jb4 9/26/03 10:27:37 AM Reply	In this vein...a question for Peter Peter- Isn't there some kind of a law in the UK that states that if you fuck up a company, you cannot run another for like 5 years or something? I seem to recall an oblique reference to such a thing in a couple of Register articles, but they assumed that the (UK) reader knew what they were talking about, so they didn't explain any further. Can you elucidate? jb4 Boy I'd like to see those words on a PR banner behind [Treasury Secretary John] Snow at the podium: Jobs and Growth: Just Wait. John J.
