Operational Readiness? Or a bunch of propaganda rubbish? Not that I'm complaining about having next to nothing to do, but......

How is one supposed to feel if he has not been given the authority he needs to properly and efficiently perform his role?

How is one supposed to feel if he is so often tasked with work that is the responsibility of another?

How is one supposed to feel like an important member of a team (and therefore valued, and therefore take pride in his work) if he is kept out of the loop, in the dark ("you're not cleared..."), existing only to do the most menial of chores (and even then only at others' convenience)?

How is one supposed to feel if he has been trained to perform a role, only to have that role performed by someone else?

How is one supposed to feel if he has been trained to set up and operate a system, only to have part of that system daily within his grasp, yet unused because of politics and carelessness?

How is one supposed to feel if machines are treated better? What do you do with a machine not in use? Keep it in a cupboard, in a state of dormancy, to be retrieved for use when the appropriate time has come? Or keep it in the middle of your office, in everyone's way, yet brushed aside until a task comes along - a task so menial it warrants no more than 2 seconds of your time (although somehow the fact that it takes up much more of the time of the person you sent to do that task for you seems justified)?
