The only person that you can change there is yourself and how you react to these things. The company must give you a safe working environment but if you're the one going in telling them how x, y, and z could do their job better you're the one they're going to get irritated with. It doesn't matter that you're right. In my opinion the only way to survive there is do your job and let their supervisors worry about their job performance.

You are so right. Thanks. I get emotionally wound up in wanting the company to succeed and survive, because I've felt, and been told, that the things I do really can make a difference. I don't want to be part of yet another failed business (my own, and as an employee in a couple of others that fell apart in the dot-bomb and aftermath), so I guess I am investing too much of myself in wanting this one to succeed.
I appreciate your insights -- it's amazing how easy it is to see the big concepts (change the way you react to circumstances beyond your control), yet miss the details (the x, y and z). You've helped me more than you know.
