my opinion of bean counters and their decisions is they are
great as long as the entity is doing great.  bUUUUT, when the inevitable
speed
bump appears their "advice" is always the same: cut customer service, lay
off
the grunts - cut their benefits & pensions, shield the upper management from
the truth because they want to keep their jobs, do the same thing to the
next
tier of personnel, get the entity into another business focus - which they
have
no knowledge or affiliation, get the entity ready to be bought by another
entity,,,  peer out under the green eye shades while denying some grunts $15
meal on a holiday and over budget for $50 hotel stay (Holiday Inn Express)
while the execs get $90 lunches with fine wine and their ties cleaned at
entity
expense to get the wine and butter stains out, figure out how the execs can
collect more money on the way out the door while they search for cheaper
toilet
paper that has less tensile strength of a butterfly wing, writing rubber
checks
to the grunts...
