[QUOTE="CynicalContrarian, post: 1121610, member: 10063"] ^ It's even worse when the order of the day is social justice. I recall a reference to a big IT company whereby, engineer types created & setup the company. Yet when it came to expansion & marketing, the engineer types being out of their depth; hired marketing type folk & quietly returned to their engineering desks. The engineer types not being focused on status nor promotions, simply tinkered away in the corner... Over time, the directors & managers were no longer being drawn form the engineers. The very people who provide the company with purpose. No, the directors & managers became derived more & more from the marketing & HR folk. Folk much more eager for wealth, status & success. So in time the focus of the company shifts from providing a solid & reliable product. To shiny, superficial shite geared towards exciting the simple minded masses. Plus, the marketing folk feel it best to advertise the company as being socially conscious & politically correct. At that point as we all know, it's a downward spiral as genuine profit loses emphasis to social justice. [/QUOTE]
