Don't feed the trolls. If you really want to know what is going on and why, take a look at the career and educational experience of your leaders, all the way up to the top. Ask yourself; Is this a group of "A" team players? How many of them have experience outside this industry, or even outside L-3 CSW? When is the last time your supervisor, manager, director, leader asked your opinion about anything important? When you ask a tough, intelligent question, do you get a real answer or does your boss think (s)he is making sense just because their lips are moving? How many of you have said, particularly in just the last few days, "Well, maybe they'll start a war in Syria."? War is about deception. Don't expect openness and transparency from those who are in the service of warriors.
Are you afraid to speak out when you see bloat and inefficiency? If you do, does your manager brush it off because CSW has been doing it that way for so long that they can't remember any other way? Can you even recognize what's truly wasteful in the way you do your job? Are you so used to doing whatever you are told that you don't even care any more? When is the last time there was any sort of open forum meeting - or any other meeting - where you didn't feel like a mushroom?
