grrowler that is very true. These days most CP's are like the HR Manager - there to protect the CEO from any staffer who 'rocks the boat', whether they be guilty or innocent. The CP acts as the company policeman so to speak, running back to the CEO tattle taling.
I know of one CP who had the honour of being bestowed with the nickname 'Toenails', because the only thing you could see hanging out of the CEO's ass was the CP's toenails! Indeed a company man through and through. As for his troops... What troops??
