	A friend of mine (who graduated as an industrial engineer)
is becoming extremely discouraged with certain aspects of his job
Time after time, he has complained of the apathy of the managers
who run the large factory where he works. Entirely too much time
and effort seems to be wasted in the generation of reports, useless
or bogus numbers, and foolish political projects that will accomplish
little or nothing. (not to mention meetings) 
	Moral at the plant is very low, among both the floor workers
and the salaried staff; most have become very cynical, feeling that
management does nothing but screw them, lie, and manuever for thier
own aggrandizement. My friend feels constant frustration with the
endless corporate games and the anti-effectiveness or the managerial
'team'. He truely wants to solve real problems, help people work 
more efficiantly, and recieve recognition for that. Solving
problems is his real joy; hypocracy, make-work, and the elitism
so characteristic of many engineers and managers he hates.

	Does anyone else have these same problems or concerns?

	Can anyone suggest a company where these problems are absent
or minimal?
