I really don't think it's the general case at all. I think it is to the degree that the employer and the employee manage to establish common goals and priorities that things can be said to be working out well. [I have seen many disfunctional work places -- almost "Lord Of The Flies" type situations -- but your average work place is more of an exercise in daily frustration and grappling with the meaninglessness of Western culture as a whole, than it is a selfish persuit by either party.] -- Craig clfranck@worldnet.att.net Manchester, NH I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once. -- Ashleigh Brilliant
