All kidding aside though, direct alliance is taking stuff from plat, plat individuals are upset and want to be able to get new businesses, but that takes BAT sellers jobs. What exactly will even come to this? I know convergence is literally what... — read more
What’s the point of so much micromanagement?

The worst kind of hypocrisy

McKinsey Survey
Did the recent survey go out to the entire company or were there target depts. within the company? Curious as to whether or not this is part the process they started in 2011 or if delts are really trying to understand and want to change.
