Using logic and facts will get you nowhere around this place (APC, FDX or in this business).
There are LOTS of jobs where logic matters, many employers value employees that think that way. Experience has taught me that it's not that way around here. We have a LOT of smart folks around here. Management honestly doesn't want to hear from them (that's sad and disappointing). We're lucky enough to have a few of them working for the union.
Smart Managers surrounds themselves with smart people that make them look smart. Around here, it seems that Management surrounds themselves with stupid people to make them look smart?
Just ... shut up and color!*?
