2935.3...just another stop...TRLIAN::GORDONSun Mar 13 1994 13:4317
    A's success is a result of intelligent hiring over the years...
    
    B's lack of success is a result of "getting more bodies" to throw
    at the problems...
    
    A hires people who "understand the business their in"
    
    B hires "anyone who fits the job req." no requirements to understand
    the business....
    
    A's employees feel part of the company
    
    B's employees feel it's another stop on their way to success, just
    don't take responsibility for anything that may cause them to not
    "appear successful"
    
    IMHO

    	Perhaps part of the problem for one company B is that it seems to
    be hiring a complete replacement set of senior managers from the other
    company B.
