If it were $10 a year I might consider joining. Louis I neither approve of or disapprove of the ARRL. Yes, the dews are high. If they where lower they could attract more potential members. With the majority of hams being senior citizens, the ARRL needs to take that into consideration when it comes to dews. WE all know that seniors are on a fixed income. Members should be given a choice of what magazine they would like when joining the ARRL. I showed a copy of QST to a new ham friend and ash him if he was interested. His comment after looking over the magazine was: The magazine is to technical for him and most likely other new hams, the cost for membership is to high. For me, the ARRL reminds me of the Federal Government. We elect the officials who are supposed to be working for the membership, but they do as they darn well please once they are in office. Who is in bed with whom. I dropped my membership for the reasons I have stated above. A choice of magazines? Explain please. Its a bureaucracy.

"Roger Gt" wrote I believe you meant the "Peter principal" named after the author Peter F. Drucker. He was a management guru! No, he meant the "The Peter Priciple", from the book by that title written by Dr. Laurence J. Peter and Raymond Hull. Peter Drucker had nothing to do with it. Good luck on this one now! 73, de Hans, K0HB |

Thanks, I couldn't see a connection with Drucker!
So it is spelled "Priciple"? That would explain why I didn't find it! This one? ------------------------------- About the Author Before Dr. Laurence Peter's death in 1988, he was a professor of education at the University of Southern California and at the University of British Columbia. Raymond Hull lives in British Columbia. This best-selling business classic of more than twenty-five years' duration is a dead-on account of why boredom, bungling, and bad management are built into every organization. Through hilarious case histories and cartoons adapted from Punch, Dr. Peter shows how America's corporate career track drives employees relentlessly upward -- until they get promoted into jobs they just can't do and wind up desperately treading water, driving their colleagues crazy, and dragging down productivity and profit. ------------------------------- 73 OM DE K7DUP "KØHB" wrote in message n "Roger Gt" wrote I believe you meant the "Peter principal" named after the author Peter F.

Its a bureaucracy. And according to Doctor Peters, who wrote a book called 'Peters principle' many years ago: "In a bureaucracy everyone will eventually arise to their level of incompetence" That "incompetence" is more usually a lack of sufficient office politics skills than technical skills. "Dilbert" is on target more often than you would believe if you never had to work for a large corporation. AT&T was the worst with this. There you worked on stuff not because there was a chance that it might make the company any money, but because your boss thinks it will impress his boss. Other instances are when your department didn't spend all its allocated budget for the year, so the boss has people order equipment that might be useful in the future. Known as "Use it or lose it", as next year's budget would likely be scaled back if this year's isn't fully spent. I have run across incompetent people in companies I've worked for, but it's actually quite rare. One guy who didn't know what he was doing just tried to wing it. And his work was very faulty. But by far most incompetence is found in management. |
