Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 1828886, member: 780"] Let's suppose your boss gathered you and you co-workers together and said, "If you don't improve the results here, it's going to negatively affect my career." It's like Lonergan was saying --- or might have been saying --- that your job here on the BB team at UVM is to advance my career. And if you don't help do that, there's going to be a price to pay. Although I did know a manager once who told his troops, "If this program fails, there is going to be a shot fired. It's going to hit me in the shoulder. It'll hurt, but I'll survive. But the bullet will continue on and hit you lot square in the chests." The manager was explaining the facts of corporate life to his group, as he understood them. (He was eventually fired because no one would work for him.) [/QUOTE]
