Excellent post breakfastburrito. I do recall reading it previously, and then as now, I found astounding the level of arrogance from this particular Bean-Counter. He does acknowledge the illogical desperation of the naive wannabees are driving (and perhaps always have) the race to the bottom. Ironically, if the potential recipients of these corporate "rodgerings" actually followed his advice , and chose a different career, then his carefully laid plans for the future (or lack thereof) of the profession would come to naught!
It's all fairly academic though isn't it, because there will always be people like nt.pilot.
