Sounds just like foresters. They walk around the woods marking trees to be removed, getting paid $30/hr by the state, are only in the woods a half a day, and then get mad at the logger when the tree they wanted removed, damaged other trees surrounding it, because they have no actual idea how logging works. The magically think the trees just hit the ground and avoid eveything.. Glad I have only had to deal with them a handful of times.
I personally think that anyone who is in charge of an operation, must spend 1 full year working IN that end of it, to understand how things go, before they start making decisions about it.
