Oh that=B9s a great example of good American corporate management philosophy.
=B3The beatings will continue until moral improves....=B2

Although, I think DBA=B9s should not respond in-kind... Because psychologist,
Benjamin Spock PhD., said we shouldn=B9t use corporal punishment on executive
management, it might damage their little personalities.

But, for those of you stuck in the trenches of I.T., who want to just get a
glimpse of the executive/vice-president way-of life, simply do the followin=
g
and you=B9ll have your once-in-a-life-time experience as an executive:

Step 1: Get a large wooden ladder..... Alias =3D "Organization"
Step 2: Get a large axe..... Alias =3D "MBA degree"
Step 3: Climb "Organization"
Step 4: Look down at supporting legs of the ladder you just climbed.....
Alias =3D "I.T. Employees"
Step 5: Repeatedly swing the sharp-end of "MBA degree" at "I.T. Employees"
until "Organization" starts to break.
Step 6: Blame "I.T. Employees" the break-down and for failure to support th=
e
"Organization"..... Alias =3D "Bad Economy"
Step 8: Go to the United-States Congress and ask for bail-out money because
your "Organization" is in danger of collapse because of the "Bad Economy".
Step 9: Get a huge year-end executive bonus from bail-out funding for the
complete collapse of the "Organization".
Step 10: Repeat steps 1-9.

I promise you'll have hours of un-ending fun and enjoyment.
