I have to agree with Snapon about FF Cats glasses. He appears to be suffering from myopia as well as far as FLS are concerned. Like many people I HAVE had direct first hand experience of FLS as both an employee and a customer. I can only assume from your demeanor FF Cat that you are not a shop floor engineer. If this is not the case I apologise for my mistake. However I am hazarding a guess that you are in "the offices",as it were, which in my long experience (first hand!) is the only place where employees are treated with any respect.
Your remarks concerning PlainOldFitter being just a contractor and not a CEO rankle somewhat. I'll bet PlainOldFitter is quite good at his job. The new CEO has yet to prove that he is. You appear to be displaying FLS management syndrome towards the "lowlife" on the floor!!!!!!!Exactly why everyone leaves.
