> I am pessimistic ... etc Your problem is not management, it's you (if this comment represents you) and your kind. The comment is lazy and just following an absurd fashion: wallowing in despair. Your advice is useless unless people organize and act. You need to do better; we need to do better. Though management could not ask for a 'better' worker, a better agent even (I don't think you are, but you might as well be)…

I agree in spirit, but their pessimism is borne from sounding the alarm early and still failing to avert a trainwreck. It's understandably demoralizing. They did offer a list of possible solutions despite that. They're trying.

Welcome to life, to challenge, to hardship, to what everyone who has ever accomplished anything has faced - many faced far worse. What is different is their attitude, which I expect was subtly taught by their opposition - quit. That's for losers - sorry, but it's true. And it spreads that poison to everyone else. Fire that person pronto.

Look at Washington in Valley Forge, Dr. King in a Birmingham jail, Churchill under seige by the Nazis, etc etc etc. Remind me what this guy is complaining about again?

The only attitude that ever has accomplished anything is, 'nothing will stop me'. To get up again when you've been smashed in the teeth - again and again and again - what you do after that is all that matters. It's also to show absolute courage to people around you - grace under pressure.

You know this; you've forgotten; you've had a bad dream. Wake up.
