I have learned that either you trust management to make the right 
decisions or you leave.

That doesn't mean that you are happy with the decisions or understand 
them throughly.  If the manager took the time to get you to understand 
everything in a decision and agree with the decision - you might as well 
be the manager.

It is kinda like you taking care of the computer network.  People will 
always second guess you and think you should do something different, but 
they don't have the same perspective that you have.


I'm not excusing management behavior - there are plenty of jerks out 
there - I know a few.



Just some fish food.
