Why do people get their hackles up when someone from "corporate" shows up? This is nonsense to me.

because more often than not they are useless to the tasks at-hand, but want reports filled out about the work

Yeah, that about sums it up. Well said, Rat. My job today will be making Captain Corporate uncomfortable.

We found a new way to fish out here in Djibouti while we snorkel. Couple of yoyo rigs and some bait and just drop it in front of the groupers. first time, 13 fish; 2 bait, 7 keepers. Not too shabby. Couple conch to go with them. This time, only one grouper (but enough to feed 4) and a conch. With some beers and this tip of nowhere has it's appeal.

remember the reports are essential to make the case for future downsizings aimed at the field where the actual revenue generating work is done

this goes on until the company staffing profile looks like a watermelon propped up on toothpicks

and they all scratch their heads wondering why the numbers are in the toilet

then they hire outside consultants to come in to see what is the matter

and the consultants validate whatever the senior execs believe is the problem....whether it is the problem or not

Keep this maxim close to heart:  You cannot think your way out of the problem, when the problem is your thinking

Printing this and putting it up strategically around the room. 

Thank you for the fodder for my shit cannon.

Morning peeps.  Sounds like you have the situation under control Pip!

[RAT900]

well the last noteworthy person to attempt inverting the staffing model at a national level was Pol Pot with his Khmer Rouge Glee Club

Slaughtered the intellectuals and redeployed the populaces of the cities to the rice paddies in an attempt to quadruple rice production to raise capital for industrialization

he was a tad overambitious and got terrible press for his efforts

but he did try

[Pip]

More ning Mary! Yes ma'am I do.  Especially with the abundant help from RAT.
