I really dispair sometimes.....

What is it about company executives' job requirements which means they need to have an IQ somewhere around room temperature? I can't believe this actually happened to me earlier today..... if you want to know what happened, this cartoon sums it up perfectly:

After 5 desk moves, 3 company name changes, 4 department re-organisations, 3 job role changes, 2 different job name changes, all in the past year, now they want to re-organise things again to make things easier for us to work.

And then some idiot does that. And he actually organises the meeting and expects us to turn up!!!

The company sounds very unstable. I would start looking at the want-ads.

It always amazes me how Dilbert is right on the mark everyday.

Reminds me of that old joke called: 3 Envelopes

A new manager was hired to replace one recently fired. He notices three envelopes in his desk drawer. The first is marked “Open after one year.” The second “Open after two years.” And the third is “Three years”.

He buries them in the drawer. Things are going pretty good the first part of his rookie year. But, towards the end things start to head downhill and it looks like he’ll have to give a mediocre report to the Board at his yearly review. Then he remembers the envelopes. Curious, he opens the first one. In it is a note that reads:

“Blame it on me.”

Brilliant! He writes his report to say everything was the former bosses fault and he’s doing his best to change things around.

Another year goes by and his group’s performance is not up to standards. He remembers the envelopes and reads the second: “Reorganize”.

Brilliant! His report says he recognizes the faulty performance and has reorganized his entire group to correct it. Just give it a little time to settle and all should be fine.

Well, as you can imagine, the third year is worse yet. But he has the magic envelopes so when reporting time rolls around he anxiously open the third and it reads:

“Prepare 3 envelopes.”
