    John,

    Not sure I agree with your philosophy 100% but I am with you 100% with “the favor rule being a bit self serving”.

    Call … by all means call.
    Show initiative – tenacity and spunk.
    Your time is valuable – you have a career to plan.
    Don’t be a wall flower – waiting for someone to ask you to a dance.
    If the answer is negative – move on. If they are still making a decsision wait.

    Gabe Gabrielsen replied to the topic Ideal Office Terms for Local Government Officials in the forum Miscellaneous 8 years, 1 month ago

    Do longer term…[Read more]

    When you are a young manager in any organization you see “deadwood” mingled in with the staff. However with a little experience and wisdom you quickly learn there are no “deadwood” employees – only “deadwood” managers. Employees cannot be become “deadwood” without management’s permission.

    Before I can respond I would like you to define you definition of consolidation?
