Re: Get out while and if you can
They want believable deniability most of all. When things go wrong, they can point out the tragic goofs that so-n-so (who hasn't been around long) committed, then fire them. It wasn't management that caused the problem!
But when people have been around for awhile, inconvenient memories surface. Why would the managers have allowed that same process change again when it didn't work the last time in 2007 either?
It is only when everyone is ignorant that managers can don the red cape of business genius.
