Only in management's dreams (Score 3, Insightful)

Just left a company that "leveraged" salaried staff to make up for bad business deals, poor project management, etc. Our project manager used to say "when our client's day ends, ours is only half over"... Leaders thought it was funny. There were three types of people: -Those who defined their "boxes" so they could do a lot of "that's not my responsibility" in order to keep their workload manageable. -Those that attempted to pick up all of the dropped work (i.e. the people that burned themselves out) -Those that said "enough of this crap" and left (many like me) You are fooling yourself if you think it is sustainable or productive. I'm now smiling when I get home. Have already lost 10 lbs... YMMV
