Corporate America and political America are about conning people (marketing) into thinking things are wonderful when they are not. That is why they talk about the message and not the delivery of real benefits. I would worry about the company because these type companies are ones that move from operational excellence to ones that are gutted by the players at the top but need to con the staff into playing along. Had any mgmt changes lately?
