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? Paul
