<p>Gotamidn, you missed my point entirely. We all know the plebes are being well “taken care of”.</p>
<p>GoNavyXC, I am not sure it was your intent but your post agrees totally with what I said. </p>
<p>You agree that it is not plebes and everyone else and that there is a class distinction in place, as there should be. </p>
<p>You agree with me that the responsibility between classes seems well delineated.</p>
<p>You agree with me that authority is not commensurate with responsibility, that you are not given enough “rope” to do your job. Good leadership demands authority and responsibility go hand in hand. You gotta have the “rope”.</p>
<p>And lastly, you agree that the Youngsters are maybe falling between the cracks. You didn’t elaborate but you also kinda put the Second Class in that statement also. Apparently the Firsties in khakis is working which is fantastic. Sounds like the only thing they might need to learn is to give you Second Class a little more authority to do the job for which you are responsible.</p>
<p>My gut feeling is that all rules and regulations are not being enforced equitably. CurrentMid, who has just posted above, has actually, on several occasions, espoused on the unenforcability of rules and regulations and perhaps that some are made to be broken (my wording, not CurrentMid’s). You perhaps have reached to the heart of the issue and hit the ‘nail on it’s head’. For an organization to run effectively, one has to be given the authority to enforce those rules, and if one feels they are not pertinent, have the wherewithal to change them.</p>
<p>Great post. Now go do something about it.</p>
