Was said: > "stupid" As part of the continuing education while employed by a major USA auto maker (the one doing well at the moment), we were taught to focus on the issue, and not the person. i.e. Say Joe, the night shift foreman, made a bunch of bad parts last night. The conversation then was, that we had some defective parts to handle, and not that Joe had done a bad job. As soon, as names are brought in, it is a confrontation atmosphere, which is to be avoided. The poor performance of an employee was an issue for his performance review, or other meeting with the boss. For this list, stick to the facts, if something isn't a good practice, then suggestion should be made of ways to improve it, and specific reasons why it is not good practice. Names may only come into the posting if several are in the thread, and wanting to refer to a particular comment, and then only to the comment in a technical way. This thread, has gone on with little new content, probably near run it's course. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
