John Hello, Sorry to read that you are experiencing this conflict situation. I may see it like a good application of the liberal economy. Once you see what can be a good job (and yours is certainly the best at date) , look for someone to do that at half the price. Reverently, to avoid conflicts and to avoid the strikes and social moves induced by the contractor, tell him about nothing. Preferently do that at the moment where everything goes fairly well so nobody see the thing happening. Large companies do that daily, and are always looking for good slaves for cheaper (notice I did not say where most of these companies are) You can also choose to close the company, then it is better to do that during a week end or holidays, and if you are good enough you even can take all the production tools with you, so only the slaves are missing. New slaves are very available today coming to China, India or coming from East Europe, we have find a neat way to do like the confederation, as we need that low cost labor as you the Mexicans, so we have soon a huge amount of slower developpement country (mean, no high tech industry an research) coming with Europe now. Other analysis may prevail, but reality of the Europe in those lands which are now part of the community, is more poverty and frustration with the opening to Europe, as the people living there are supposing that this will allow them to have na new car and "blue jeans" while the real money stay as usual in the hands of mafias that are well installed in the highest levels of industry and governments. I evidently hope a happy end for you. I am may be totally out of the real context but felt it like an opportunity to show that it can happen for anyone and reasons or logic behind it is not always apparent to us. That is the kind of economy rules that is supposed to give us all a very nice future, particularly for our children. While I discovered that chances are that the Aids was introduced by the hand of man, trying to prove that his Poliomyelitis vaccine was the best (competition) , while checking it on 1 million de people (slaves )that have no choice to refuse (in the old Belgian Congo), that this man that conducted human experimentations since the beginning of its carrer as a scientist, is now considered and protected by the pharmacy laboratories, I reject more than never the model of society one want us to accept blindly. G Wells was far from the truth yet. Best Regards to all. Sorry for the rant Isaac OLEG -----Message d'origine----- De : pianotech-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org]De la part de John Hartman Envoye : dimanche 25 avril 2004 02:33 A : College and University Technicians; Pianotech; PTG Topics Objet : Barbara Cassaday's "Executive Outlook" May 2004 Journal Readers and Authors, Here is Barbara Cassaday's "Executive Outlook" as it will appear in the May issue of the Journal.
