We should not get into this points where who get more or less resources, or who get what and why. <BR>
<BR>
Our team works as managers and as managers we should make our best with what we got, plus we have to figured out a way to get more, but not taking from the neighbor.<BR>
<BR>
The overall true is we have a budget increase, the main reason for decreasing budget was that we not spend it all, ( not true for all regions). For this period we create our own plans and we should manage it. Now that is a better way to do it, before we did not know when we can spent or how much now we have the guide lines. <BR>
<BR>
I'm looking at the budget as guidelines and a way to make things better, next time we may even get another increase, but as always we need to show results.<BR>
<BR>
my two cents. <BR>

Sigh.
To state the obvious, everyone's share of the whole cake cannot
increase so measuring things by your share of the whole cake is flawed
and a recipe for one or more regions to always perceive that they got
screwed somehow.
If you really believe the NA allocation is based on fat and reserves
just help yourself to $8,000 of that fat and reallocate it to EMEA.
Seriously, do it if that is what you think is fair. We'll survive and
we can stop this conversation which is making everyone feel like they
are being blamed for EMEAs plight. I know it is making me feel like I
don't want to be a part of this budget process.
