More than half of this thread sounds like we are all just sociopaths and the scary thing is that I see myself 10 years ago in the answers. I would like to correct 2 perceptions that I see as common threads: 1. It is management's job to find the solution. No.. it is the management job to make a decision. They would have their own opinions on how things ought to be and a good management would listen to everyone, consider possible alternatives and make a decision. A bad management would just make a decision. However, they cannot come up with solutions to everything. Why hire anyone else, if that were true? 2. Politics is bad. - I had this in my mind for a long time. Then read something in a scifi book that went like "You get politics when you have two people talk". Then I realized it is not politics that is bad.. We play politics all the time - posting this comment is politics. I am trying to convince you of something by appealing to logic and rhetoric. We tend to think politics is only when you lie and cheat and deceive people.. but that is just not true. The alternative to politics is to live in a world where might makes right. It is still true, but the concept of might is different.
