DING! For many (? the vast majority?) of publically held companies in this 
country employees are commodity widjets. Need some more? go to the supply 
room and activate a few. Too many? throw some out. Which makes the 
employee about as important to the company as a piece of paper.

Except that a piece of paper cann't smile a customer and make him feel 
welcomed.

Except that piece of paper cann't spend the five/ten years that it may 
take to open up new business.

Except that a piece of paper cann't understand the customer's problem and 
work out a usable solution.


I've said it before: Why don't we offshore top management? Surely there 
are experienced managers who would jump at the chance to earn 10% of top 
US managements income.
