Many can manage local groups and fail miserably at global management ( this is a huge one I can tell you ) - some can manage a department until they OWN the budgetary accountablity - then fail. <<<<<< Oh you so think as I do. I have worked at a couple places, the first was Union and being promoted had little to do with ability. They soon hit the "peter principal" wall and what a mess. I had theorized before I was in management that everyone had a top shelf limit, then they are in a place that they cannot correlate to what is expected of them. My last job had a 30 something supervisor but this guy was a kid in mans clothing, no management ability at all, knew what to do if it all fell in order but fell off the wall when he needed to make a good management decision. He ran a department, but had no idea what to do with it. HUMPH!!! After his boss was fired, they promoted him into that position, which he could not do when the boss was on vacation (HE HATED IT), now has it full time-lolol bad move But there seems to be a lot more to see here..... ---------------- The maintenance man did not visually see that the spur switch had physically changed position -- or -- Did Central forget to call the maint man; or thought he did and told the Pilot to proceed -- or -- Did the Maint Man TELL Central (who was off property ) that he had repostioned the switch which would operate the spur, the spur failed to move and was not physically changed to proper position, and (being off property), Central did not see the spur sw in the wrong position and tell the pilot he was clear to change track ------------ This is not a matter of being on the job and not understanding what you are supposed to do. There are some very bad job duties that were not performed. Being off the job, I don't care if he did relieve a sick Control person, HE WAS OFF JOB SITE - There are big differences between being imcompetent and just walking off the job while on duty, or not physically seeing the spur track change position. These are blatant physical inadequacies to job performance. When it involves a death on something that should never have had one and becomes a PR circus, it gets 10 times worse. All eyes of the world are on it. Just like here. I don't think there is a fine line between being promoted too high and what happened at the TTC/EpcotCenter station, since they were not on the job site. There is a gaping canyon between the two, which indicates how bad this really is. IF you think about it, and start to realize the different actions and what they initiated, (remembering what should have been the safety mechanism to prevent a problem), you start to see a picture of inattention, lazyness and abandonment of the job position.

That tells me that upper mgmt has no idea who is working for them or the quailty of the work they do.
