Yeah, the Director has a bunch of chemists on his staff, but maybe just maybe he hates chemists and they are just there to impress the VP.  
You ever sit in on an inter-org budget meeting Logan?  You don't have deadwood employees just sitting on your payroll for show.  The execs battle back and forth for budget money based on demonstrated need for functionality. 
The chemists are in Zduriencik's org.  There is nobody in his org he doesn't want there.  One of the first things he did when he got here was ax Lee Pelekoudas, longtime Mariner spear carrier, just because he didn't like Pelekoudas.
Besides that, Blengino is a longtime cohort of Zduriencik, brought over from Milwaukee.  Why would Armstrong force Blengino on him?

Meaning no disrespect amigo... the fact is, this conversation is becoming more and more undergrad-student-theorizes-about-corporate-America.  There's a certain point at which an outside observer should simply acknowledge that he's out of his depth, and start listening to those who aren't.  We've long passed that point.

I've never understood the emotional loyalty that Dave Cameron commands from nice guys around the blog-o-sphere.  I don't resent it, but I don't understand it.  Why would he, specifically, inspire such personal devotion?  I'd have thought that personal relationships would be a relative weak point for him, but no matter how much contempt he publishes, the affection for him increases.
I mean, you're a great guy, and you're doggedly trying to defend a hit piece that was completely inaccurate and completely unfair.  Why would you?  ::bemused::
