[sdiy] SW OT: Electronics workplace advice

[Happy Harry]

Hah !

Beancounters ???
Arrgh !!!

In the USA they come in, fire all the high paid staff. Milk the old
products for another year or two. Promise everything, spend nothing.
They show a huge (short term) profit... and they sell out and move on. Their 
resume talks about their huge turn around successes. And they get rewarded 
for killing the company, at their next job.

God will reward them for their careful stewardship of their companies... on 
the SPIT !!!
