Let's wait and see. I think the issue of work ethic is not the issue here. The problems with organizations like Boeing, AirBus, NASA, etc. is the dearth of overblown bureaucracy and "red tape" which hinders any independent initiative and "thinking out of the box". In a smaller company, without the bloated bureacracy and "red tape" I believe those same individuals would be much more productive.
We have a very lean organization here with GTE, and specifically Sanswire.
