<< I just wanna say to everybody that has someone reporting to them at your
 jobs, don't forget who does the work of the company, because they ARE the
 company, and if you forget that, you won't survive...and surviving in today's
 business world is getting tougher and tougher. >>

I will keep this short. RIGHT ON STEVE!
As technical recruiter I see all the symptoms you speak of over and over
again. It is sometimes disheartening.
The bad news is that those that "don't get it" probably will continue in
their ways. Bottom lines are a fickle thing.
