Downside of permiedoom….

"I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing; and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency and demoralization.''

at that place, all bonus and promotions were based on how you did all these things.

how you were meant to do them all AND do your day job I'll never know. The place was full of slimy manager types doing every they could to climb the greasy poll of success.

all that stuff under the broad title of "office politics" is actually the main reason I started contracting.

ugh, had to do that in a past permy life - total crapola!

boss had to align his with his boss, and we all to fall in beneath them with ours. Really hated it.

for example:
- Become group SME in SomeShoddyTechnologyThatWeDon'tEvenUse
- Deliver presentation on SSTTWDEU

That is exactly my new world....... Cumplete and utter uber bullocks.....

Yes if you have to pay more taxes think - its all for a good cause - to bailout those hard working City Bankers.

Bless their Brollys !

Don't let this new 50% tax put you down Wilmslow...

I am having to write my own objectives.

Sounds like a winner to me. Aim low, avoid disappointment.

[Wilmslow]

I am having to write my own objectives. Already written, having to update halfway through the year, including additional ones and having to align to my boss’s.

Life was sooo much richer in many ways when boss was my client……..

Starting to curse this recession…..
