I periodically wonder why corps outsource functions like qa (toyota/Xerox certainly didn't do that in the 80s), harassment training (eg. having an outsider lawyer firm do it for you becauase HR wouldnt touch it), and other management functions like where to make cuts. The reasons ... well we know ... is to avoid accountability which says a lot ... I am reminded of the Basil Fawlty line to his wife: ah it must be tough to be you; your work is never fully delegated.
