Message: [QUOTE="Alydar, post: 3302103, member: 730"] Very good description except for it being the lower level employees choosing to move decisions to a higher level. In my experience it's the higher level that demands to be involved (but in stealth mode) and woe to any lower level employee who doesn't push any potentially newsworthy decision up a level. In my work situation that often led to dysfunction in the appeal process as those next higher employees are usually ruling in the appeal. It's tough to get a reversal when the person hearing it was (anonymously) involved in the original decision. If Westbrook got even one threat from ticked off Vol fans the NCAA will have a tough time denying her waiver request. Zero tolerance would require it. And from my experience with Vol fans there were likely more than one. [/QUOTE]
