Not an IPA Guy
You're right, not an IPA guy and never said I was.
I live in the land of FredEx. However, I stand by all the statements I made with one addition -- the us vs. them deal with IPA and management is pretty sad at Brown. Glad I don't have to deal with it over here at the plantation in Memphrica.
We don't particularly like our managers here either, but most of us realize they are not the source of our problems -- the CEO and his biatches are where our true problems lie. Pretty sure the same thing applies there.
Just because "management" is in the title doesn't mean these guys aren't doing the best job they can. In any group, you have bottom feeders and jerks. For the most part, the managers here are actually good guys. Just food for thought.
