Now, maybe, you're in such an employment that if you disapprove of the way something's done, you just take a hike. The rest of us, in the middle of a bloody depression, hang onto our jobs as hard as we can. We may do our best to lead management to better practice, but when they say, "do it my way", we're stuck doing it that way, or are in danger of being told to take a hike. Is that the hit you offer the OP? mark
