In reply to beaner

You’re kidding; you’re going to argue that in France you can’t tell the difference between Rob and Ron. I accept it was a mistake but pulling the “I speak two languages” card is overkill. Of course, I’m lucky to get English right most of the time, so you have my admiration for even being able to do this.

You make an excellent point though. As an Auditor I used to hate my peers who would simply go in, shoot the poor ducks in the barrel and leave without any consideration for the fact that most of the problems were probably due to the fact the organization being audited hadn’t been given the resources to do the job right. It was incredibly sad.
-
When I joined, my team worked 6 day weeks with 14 hour days (and half day on Sunday) our mission was not only to find the problems but to help fix them. (One of the first things I did when I took over field management is cut down on the hours and find ways for the team to have fun, my view is you simply can not do a quality job if you kill your people months on end).
-
But we always tried to make sure blame went where it belonged, if corporate was at fault then corporate got the hit (though I often was overruled on this one aspect).
-
I’ve been kind of on a personal mission to show that I can’t be blackmailed into changing a position (the threats have upset me at a very deep level). I think I’ve made that point and it is time to be more measured. So, going forward I will, in fact, try to take your advice and provide more of the other side and, at the very least, make suggestions on how to address the problems I raise.

Thanks for pointing this out.
