Hey Bozo, arguing with and engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud. After about an hour you realize they like it :). Yes, I have forgotten more about long term business than you will ever know! It's a fact.

Inefficient and unskilled management. Can not sell jobs when you can not execute them. Nobody is going to pay top dollar for junk.

Mngt paid $B4 for $B1 in assets. If CBI all leave, Mngt will have only $B1 left. Then what happens? Mngt needs to care. Go on, Mngt, kick me in the a-- again.

Adding to good manners point. It doesn't muffle the sound of your yellphone call if you are in the coffee room, copy room, or a conference room with an open door. The walls act like an amp and push the sound waves out. Last week half the floor were treated to the details of someone's nephew's briss. I still can't get the horror out of my head. I may need to self medicate. Just saying.

Exactly. Get rid the people. Keep the paper. Send the paper to India. And in 2 years the Indians will be b--ching about NSynq or whatever the f--- M calls its version of CMS. And once all the people ARE CB&I are fired or quit you kiss goodbye all that goodwill.

Ok this has just gotten comical.

1.) doesn’t matter your linage. What matters is your salary rate and age. (Young, cheap)

2.) doesn’t matter your professional expertise. Can the technology be transfer to a low cost center. (Yes it can)

3.) main driver. ROI. People, facilities, technology.

Are people leaving. Yes they are. Does management care. No they don’t. Your doing their job for them by reducing head counts.

Does mgt care what you think. No.

there are some more rules of good office etiquette learned at the woodlands campus finishing school, M people could use these pointers.

Don't whistle near my cubicle.

Flush when you are done.

Don't Fart in the elevator.

Dont use speaker phone in your cubicle or with your door open.

Don't just trash things you find on the printer.

Don't cook fish in the microwave.

Let's agree these are part of the one M way.

This is what happens when you only focus on profits and not the business. Welcome to Corporate America.
