Good philosophy; I wish companies operated this way. Most don't. I'm talking about big ones here, not the smaller, can-do companies who can't afford "dead wood"

Good philosophy; I wish companies operated this way. Most don't. I'm talking about big ones here, not the smaller, can-do companies who can't afford "dead wood" at all. The politicos want to build empires, and they hire people who are pliant and will bend to their will, and are not usually competent.
