anger management ......

[the alarming man]

I'm guessing some wanky, pointless, new management backed company wide initative for improviing productivity/wellbeing/profit that is bogging down the medium to large company sector that has piss-poor management.

Ah you have been on one of those as well...mine was 3 weeks ago....customer services training what a load old 'dangle berries'

anger management ......

About 10 years ago, one of my bosses put me down for one. I told him to eff off, I have no trouble getting angry with dimwits...

...he agreed, and I was excused

Working for a large firm, we have a new initiative like that every time there is a mgmt. reorg (usually every 18 months or so). The current one is CI, which is an abortion of Lean and Six Sigma from what I can work out (some stupid middle mgmt. mongrel has set one of his targets on it, so its difficult to get the true picture of what senior mgmt. want from it).  Although based on good ideas, and reasonably usable in our part of the company, due to said middle management targets, its had far too much emphasis, and now is total 'dangle berries'.

I defy anyone to take a course and not take some sort of educational benefit from it...
...even if that means learning not to go near it ever again

Amended to allow for Managemental adaptation in response to mobile result expectations (aka making it up as they go along)

Precisely. In a world of BS, the race is to come up with the best BS to gain the upper hand. And some sort of higher ground....

... But all in the world of BS. Make yourself a winner with lean management and its variations. And in doing so tell the world you don't know what your doing, have no common sense and no understanding of your own business and its processes.

It (BS) is the disease of British Management. ...or being fair, the wrong solution to said disease.

[chrisgixer]

Btw. That's not the course I'm on about...

[05omegav6]

Do you give those courses for roundabout abuse nowadays
