I watched this and it was like re living my day. Hope you don't suffer from the same thing.

(holding head running in circles)
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggghhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

Where did you find this video of my boss?

like Dilbert's manager

OMG!!! This sounds as efficient as the place that I work! I don't think you need to be an analyst to appreciate that video.
(By the way, in two weeks, I will be moving my desk for the third time in two years, because the powers that be are so indecisive)

But do you get to keep your stapler?

Sounds like hell.

Going forward. Every time I hear that, it's like an ice-pick in my ear.
Not that I ever hear it at work, but WHAT THE FUCK DOES IT MEAN?

this IS my day.

just imagine some heavy labor thrown in the mix and you'll see me.

maybe if you sneeze on it.


i got moved a couple of times in the course of a few weeks. and as an IT person, THAT was a PITA!

And that is why I lasted 18 months in the corporate world.

Shit yes! There's a cargo-cultishness to it, some mega-ceo said it and now middle mangers everywhere repeat it as often as possible, in nonsensical contexts, as if John Frum would land and offer them million dollar stock options, going forward.

My personal fav is "let's discover the art of Possible."

That shit is so lame.

This is why we play "Buzzword-BINGO" at professional development meetings. Just DON'T yell out "BINGO!" when you win. They frown on that.

Where the faack did you hang the mini camera in my boss's office? I had no idea we were being filmed!

Shit, just today I got in trouble for not updating a document after being told by that very same boss not to do anything on the project until he gave me the go-ahead. Ugh!

To tell the truth a baseball bat in the parking lot works really good on those kinds of bosses. Just dont get caught or your new boss/ceilmate will ask ,wheres my coffee bitch!

and in reaction to situations like this, I became a truck driver. Guess what? It sucks too....

Whenever we get a new dean, s/he always tries to make me more organized and efficient to get me to to writre program reviews following new, unthought out updated brain-damaged formats, and I continue to turn in the same material, which they don't like, but no one can do anything about it because I'm me, and if they want me to do something unlike me, they should get someone unlike me to do it. Sometimes I writemy reports with the same keen editing skills I use on this site--yet it all seems to work out in the end because they know I know no one does anything regarding any recommendaytions I make. They know Everything they lob my way, and everything I toss back just gets absoebed and llost somewhere in the ether.

OOh ooh, we do thast too. we also gert extra points for makking other bingo participants laugh--I'm real good at thast--making people use all powers they have to stifle the sniggering whern some someone's talking. Last time at a meeting with some director tsalking, I hgad three people practicallly blowing snot out of their noses trying to keep in the laughs because I pointed out, and mouthed the words "mom jeans" about the pants he was wearing. I was granite-faced the whole time, and scored major points that meeting. The other three were near tears by the time we were done. I'm ruthless when it comes to this.

For some reason, this comes as no surprise.
