this might be it: my friend is an enrolment director. he told me last week he has not done any actual work in 6 months. he delegates everything and goes to meetings. enrolment has a lot of fat and its time for a diet.

Who cares if you lay people off - just stop lying to people and doing things that allow the "good ole boys club" to continue to exist wihtin the entire organization. We are not stupid ... we are complacent and disconnected. I wonder why.

Let's just say the people who think they are running the show are so damn stupid it's ridiculous - please get rid of the director and managers and start letting the line people do their jobs without this out of control mentor/coaching stupidity land.
