Problems of Horizontal Management

Re: What to do...
America is a diverse country.
Our wise founding fathers
gave us the U.S. Constitution
which emphasizes
Separation of Powers...
The Federal Government
is divided into 3 branches
which serves to self-correct
and limit the control of
any one branch.
Secret Agencies, however
have unchecked power.
And their power has grown.
Corporate Law should be
amended to include a
Corporate Conscience
Division, in emulation
of the Constitution.
The division should
have financial control
of the Corporate Officers.
Money Talks.

When I was in charge of
the supply, and maintenance
of 350 computer systems
used in 48 States...
I was given the task of
recovering 80 computer
systems missing in the field.
Due to employee movement
from Area to Area, and shipments of replacement
equipment for maintenance
reasons, 80 systems worth
$1500 apiece, had been lost
in the shuffle, when others
in the office had been managing
the task.
Though I contacted Area Management, and Supervisors,
who had local responsibility
for the crews and equipment,
The response was usually
a half-hearted :
"He said he sent it back..."
Well, the equipment was always
sent insured, and if it didn't arrive, we needed the documentation to reclaim
lost value.
Silence.
The VP of the Division
and I talked about it...
We were regularly charging
a nominal fee to each Area,
for the transmitted and processed work sent in
weekly by the Foremen.
The failed or unused computer
units were not charged to the
Area, so they were of no
importance to the Area Managers.
We changed that.
I sent weekly allocation
reports from my dBase3
Files, to the Area Managers,
Supervisors, and Corporate
Financial Officers.
If a Computer Unit was in use,
the Area was charged its fee.
If the unit was unused...
It would appear as
***SERVICE
for failed units,
and its Unit Status
would advance weekly
from:
***Unused1
to
***Unused2
to
***Unused3
to
***Missing
at which point, after
4 weeks in the field ...
The Area would be
charged the same fee
for the unit, as if it
was being used to
Transmit Data.
Suddenly, the Area Managers
had a reason to care
about the return of unused
Units...!
I recovered 79 of the missing
80 units !
These were put through
OEM service, and updated
with the latest software.
And these units were now
available for rapid shipment
to large jobs like PG&E,
Jersey Bell, Duke Power,
and Florida Power & Light.

So.
Instead of half-heartedly saying
that Universities will lose
ALL FEDERAL FUNDS
if they continue to allow
Violent Socialist Riots
on their campuses...
Spell it out.
One event,
***Socialist1
If no corrective action:
***Socialist2
***Socialist3
to:
***Terrorist organization
At which point,
all Federal funds
would be diverted
to Local Police, for a
one year period.
The Senate could
craft such a bill.
The next administration
would SIGN IT.
