Hey, I didn't say manage the staff, I said control the staff.  Like, say, 
telling the staff that when they summarize comments, they should summarize 
what they actually say rather than what the staff wished they said.

The lack of control starts at the top, viz a prior president who couldn't 
be bothered to live on the same continent where he works, and the current 
one who's building an unneccsary million dollar new headquarters so he can 
be closer to his friends in Silicon Valley.
