Sometimes that is the correct advice, but it is very reactive rather than proactive. Sears and Barnes & Noble (and Toys'r'us, and Circuit City, and Radio Shack, and regional general merchandise chains...) operated by the creed "if it ain't broke don't fix it". They were both dominant in their respective fields, and I am sure that the executives in charge of their passive response to Walmart & Amazon are wishing they had done some fixing before their companies started to head south.
Sure, with millions of people across the country in managerial roles, some are going to be idiots. Others are going to be geniuses. Most are going to be somewhere in the middle. The art is in determining which is which, and you have erroneously decided, without sufficient evidence or experience, that virtually all are idiots.
By the way, your spelling and grammar are particularly poor today. I have seen your writing, and I know you can do better than this most recent post.
My grammar won't cost a company potentially MILLIONS of dollars and/or thousands of jobs and bread off your table . So its best for every citizen and employee to stay focused on who they elect and who they let into an organization.
Why is it that so many people are focused on what the average schlub does but not the CROOKS that are raping this country?

If you're that concerned, I'd suggest you take a job in management in a major corporation and show up how to run it properly.
I have seen many things done in the interest of propping up the stock price and if a CEO cannot grow the business or the business becomes more competitive, the fastest way to improve profitability is layoffs, outsource or both. Stock options and restricted stock, etc. has long been the compensation incentivizing executives.
Particularly with outsourcing, I have witnessed management being less than honest with employees so a seamless transference of knowledge could occur. The employees (engineers) were outraged when they realized what was happening.
So I have firsthand knowledge of deceptive practices and why employees get jaded. In publically traded companies, it's a difficult balance with being forthright with employees and doing what improves the bottom line and stock price.
The expenses of severance and other costs of "mergers/reorganizations" can be categorized as one time expenses that will not affect the stock prices.
Corp earnings are at all time highs, which means, in aggregate, corps are better managed today than ever before in this nation.
Not necessarily. Stock price is a function of earnings per share. Corporations having been buying back stock in unprecedented amounts to keep the denominator (per share) low.

Companies are better managed than ever. Just outsource every job to another country or just eliminate the job entirely . Takes a lot of success and brilliance . You know
One person cant fix a rotten, corrupt system and country.
No one asked you to fix the country. I asked why you don't take a management position. You could fix the group you work in for your company, if you got a few promotions. Start by using your ideas to manage 4-5 people and improve their lives.
Let me know when you start applying for new jobs where you'd be in charge so that you can show us how to do things correctly. Send me a private message if you need someone to review resumes/elevator pitches/etc. I'm more than happy to help you if you choose to start actually doing something here.
