WAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAOriginally posted by the Bear:...In The Beginning Was The Plan...
And then came the Assumptions.
And the Assumptions were without form.
And the Plan was without substance.
And darkness was upon the face of the shop.
And they spoke among themselves, saying "It is a crock of shit, and it stinketh."
And the Shop Steward went unto the Foreman and said, "It is a pail of dung, and none may abide the odour thereof."
And the Foreman went unto the Production Manager, saying, "It is a container of excrement, and its fragrance is very strong, such that none may abide it."
And the Production Manager went unto the Shop Supervisor, saying, "It is a vessel of fertiliser, and all who draw near to it are overcome by its strength."
And the Shop Supervisor spoke amongst the Management staff, and they said one unto the other, "It contains that which aids plant growth, and it is very strong."
And the Management staff went to the Management Executive, saying unto him, "It promotes growth, and it is very powerful."
And the Management Executive went unto the Shareholders, and said unto them, "This new Plan will promote the growth and vigor of the company, with powerful effects to be felt by the shareholders!"
And the Shareholders looked upon the Plan, and saw that it was good.
And the Plan became Policy.
And this is how shit happens.
Because everyone does not want to be the messengerOriginally posted by the Bear:i wish i did.. but no... this is something i read a long time ago..
true even today...
filtering...
always listen to the guys at the ground.. never allow filtering by everyone in between.. and never ever filter it to make the news more palatable....
because... if it's ugly, say it's ugly... do not say it is "aesthetically challenged" or other PC-speak BS

WAHHHHHHAHAHAHAHHAAOriginally posted by av98m:Reminds me of this time someone mentioned a very unwelcome policy change initiated by higher-ups at a meeting. Before I knew it, I had uttered a loud "the bastard!" and twenty pairs of shocked eyes turned to look at me![]()
I learnt later to control such knee jerk reactions
