Paying managers doesn't solve problems. Good managers solve problems. Paid managers can cause more problems. Paid managers can still get fired. Just compare it to any real world example that has paid management. If Walmart screws up, the managers get fired, Walmart keeps going because they hire people to take the fall.
Anyway, I'm not trying to be a jackass here.
Paying good managers solves problems much faster than hoping they'll do it for free. :)
And I know you're not trying to be a jackass. If I thought you were, we would not be having a dialog that's about to vanish into the unreadable thread zone. :)
