Whose (dead)line is it anyway? Where everything’s made up and the results don’t matter!
Our highly compensated executives leave us with brilliant nuggets of wisdom, such as: “Our strategy is to sell more!”
We value the Voice of Employees, except when it’s something negative or inconvenient.
Optics matter more than results.
What are your unspoken truths?
We really care for our employees. As an ATM when it comes to making our quarterly numbers.
Optics matter more than results is exactly my experience as well.
It doesn''t matter how well you performed for the last couple years, this guy over here talked a good game and he will get the promotion undeservingly regardless of the fact he does all the things on the floor they tell you not to do.
To flush the unflushable t*rd, get rid of the useless managerial and executive layer of garbage.
"We have to manage perceptions"
Oh here is another one from way back in the Bossidy days-
"We need to work smarter, not harder" As we were watching our coworkers get laid off and picking up their work.
"$10,000 of management time spent in meetings wringing hands over a $1,000 expenditure is time well spent shaping the future!"
