[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] Patrick, remember the words of Reinhold Niebuhr: [i]God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference[/i] Amtrak is a Federal agency that must answer to two bosses, namely the President and The Congress, often these two bosses will wish to formulate different policies for the agency. Any other agency (there are exceptions, but darned if I can think of any) has one boss and that for the next 175 days is President Bush. At least in your Social Service agency, presuming it is private, you have one boss - your Board of Directors. The Executive Director serves at their pleasure, and if he or she does not run your agency to the Board's specifications, your ED will not be such for too long. Mr. Kummant is sort of Amtrak's ED, but instead of listening to the President (or designate) in how to formulate policy, he must also listen to the 535 Members of Congress, who despite there being a Speaker and a Vice-President simply do not speak as one. Quite simply 60 Mass (and predecessor HQ's @ 400N Csp and Elephant Plaza) cannot be anything other than a snake pit; I've known my share of folk who over the years would be inclined to agree.
