The Union

"My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that." - Abraham Lincoln

The stress of deciding appropriate staffing can bring out the worst in selfishness, unless we're strong enough to take our eyes off of our own chairs and seize the goal of the best price/quality balance for our customers.
