First of all if not for the son the mother – an old “farm woman” who had worked with great responsibility and responsibilities in her life in the business world – when these “jobs were reserved for men only”  would of starved on the food rations and the plastic coverings over them in the hospital.

The “staff”  was just so efficient at removing trays with food, as per the system , like clockwork.

Had the son not been there – first of all the mother did not know how to take the protective (?) wrap off.  Second the food  it itself was in substandard starvation size – as per the “book ” and “manual”.   The mother  all her life had eaten great quantities of caloric intake and to this point had never been overweight or heavy in weight.  If not for the son – first to take the protective plastic wrapping off – the mother’s vision was not good,  and for the doting son to bring in her in many Mc Donalds hamburgers and fries – who knows what would of occured.

Yet the graphs and charts of acitivies and productivity on the “ward”  were always on the upswing.

Lord help us all.

eBay seems to go out of its way to prove  “Who is Boss !” regardless of any of the consequences to its sales , customer relationships and ultimately its bottom line.

On eBay its the sellers who carry the load and pay the tariff – not the buyers by any chance

Listing fees , “final value sale fees”  and then a PayPal fee / tax of approximately 4 %

eBay regularly issues updates and edicts to the sellers all tied into 1984 type language of how “we are here to help you”

It apparently target markets new upcoming product revisions and systems extensively – the committees  must be deaf , dumb and plain or just plain misinformed and misdirected

Two examples

1) Good news to enhance “transparency”  sellers can now only leave positive or no feedback at all whereas the buyer

has the choice of bidding , buying or not trusting a vendor .  The seller has no such powers

Yet the buyer can hit the seller with negative feedback

Apparently some sellers were using threat of negative feedback to force or coerce buyers to  pay up for what they purchased on .   Horrors.

On top of that if a seller  http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/feedback-terms.html

2) Recently to enhance the process of non paying bidders , ebay came up with a new streamlined strategy – The Unpaid Item  Policy”

Great

Only one problem – the time limit has been conveniently reduced ( quietly) from 45 to 32 days

10 days not to be paid

10 days for the buyer to promise to pay while you wait.  If the seller is overly aggressive in requesting payment promptly   they may receive a negative comment from the buyer who has not honored their committments

lastly if the seller is dragged on further by the buyer – soon its too late to make the claim

Remember these rules and procedures are all there to help you

You can bet on one thing , eBay will always take its cut regardless right off the top

The seller is left to wonder is this all worth the effort of it all

Ebay can serve as a model of business , your boss and how the same people who ran the old pre-internet “bricks and mortar ” economy into the ground , are now back firmly and place and most likely your new boss or supervisor.

Never mind the little chatter ( none of which is off the cuff) that comes out of their mouths. What is really going on . What are the real concerns and area of focus ? That is other than getting into power – to be in the real position to effect change towards what they feel is “right ” “proper” or to drive that big new Cadillac perk – never mind that the vehicle of choice has now moved on to new models and types. So much for progressive proactive thinking. Its all still way back there in the “stone age”.

As an example and case in point one manager went on at great lengths regarding a discussion he had with a novice , and still relatively untouched , marketing type. The conversation was about the skills – or better simply put coercive management skills of Atilla the Hun. Atilla was widely successful in conquering and tormenting vast areas of geography. He was known as the evil Rasputin of his day. Still he not only was successful , he was an effective manner of men. Atilla did not do the work himself but by command of the troops. The summary of Atilla’s management style was that troops showed loyalty to Atilla and Atilla rewarded the troops.   It all depends which side of the fence or side you are on .     Good and evil is only subjective.  If you are on Atilla’s side the rape and pillage and rewards would be great.  If on the other side of the victims’  then not so good.  The message to any listeners was ” I am a bastard ” but if you show loyalty to me and my projects I will reward you greatly. “Get with the program”

Figures do not lie “but liars figger”.  Look at poor Bernie Madoff as an example.  There is a case in point if one could ever be made of how numbers, figures , data and statistics are get confused and misused in the hands of ” experts” or more rightly described downright criminals.  Its not as if the financial industry is full of the most ethical people as well.  It can be justly said that most in the “financial “  or “securities”  have zero ( or little) conscious in any manner.   Its similar to the government official who comes to visit you ( or phones ) with the introduction ” I’m from the government I am here to help you”.

The problem becomes that most people are trusting.  At the worst they trust the data and information which they are given from alleged credible sources.  On top of that these industries are supposed to be tightly controlled and regulated by the agent of society – in this the government body the  The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).  After all if you got a phone call late one night from an individual who claimed , and was supported by a caller id number. that they were calling from the I.R.S. would you not beleive them and take them most seriosuly.

Such is the abuse of power , whether from management types , a governmental agent or Mr. Madoff .

You may hear the spouting of slogans of “I accept responsibility”. But when it comes to action and acceptance where are these same types. It not unlike the United Nations soldiers who themselves may be charged with abuses, or in Lebanon on not seeing the return of terrorists under their very noses. What are these people in charge of?
What are they being paid for? It’s all the emperors’ clothes with no shortage of “Cannabis” and “Yes Men” in the wings.

Anyone who has been at an airport can tell you that someone is terribly wrong. But where are the F.C.C. and its upper management at all. Ditto that for the financial markets. Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae Stock was going to hell in a hand basket. Turn on a radio or TV set in the last year and all you heard was of the looming crisis and whether for Canadians was it a good time to buy a home in Phoenix or wait for worst to come. Yet no one in upper management or in politics was aware of this. It’s as if they were all just putting in time. How sad.
