I remember an article about downsizing and outsourcing recently. It was basically about employees that had been outsourced griping because of managment not being affected in anyway but only the 'minions' so to speak. The example they used was a company that had outsourced all of its shipping to an outside company. They still had one employee in the shipping department though: the Vice President of Shipping. Made no sense to me and I'm not sure what he was responsible for!

>(Whats most interesting about this is that the Professor of the Scientific Method claims that the scientific method doesn't exist, yet keeps his job. I don't know how the great thinkers manage to pull this stuff off!)
