Asking for directions

Uncategorized

Hi, First off, don’t panic. Everything is fine here. Well, unless something very bad has happened and I’m currently enjoying a sulphur and lava hot tub with Old Nick. Now, wouldn’t that be amusing for a smug-arsed atheist? 🙂 I bet the Devil has loads of synergistic management paradigms warmed up and ready. You thought it was pitchforks? Ha, idiot mortal! That’s *so* 12th century. Welcome… to the Management Farm. Take a desk, you’ll be needing it.  Got your clipboards and iPads ready? Good…. Oh, the Wi-Fi may drop out on you and do write quickly, because the ink tends to evaporate. Don’t worry… there will be a test later. Now, must dash! Catch you proles later!! I’ve outsourced the […]

Fighting the fear

Hiya, “Hey, have you signed the leaving card for X?“ I’ll put ‘best wishes’ because putting ‘so long you useless shafter and good riddance’ isn’t very British 😉 Or so I wrote on social media, t’other day. X is another casualty from the team I didn’t join. About a year ago we had a consultant come in and merge two teams. After about six months he announced if we wanted to be in his team- let’s call them Team A – we’d need to apply and be interviewed. Alternatively, we could move straight into a new team under a different manager and it would be a different role. The new team felt, at the time, a bit of a step […]
