 Posted: 01/20/06 - 16:02 Post subject: Does this sound like your workplace ?
We trained hard, but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form into teams, we would be reorganized. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing. And what a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization. -

Blue, I first saw that quote in 1972. It has held up since, and will continue for another 2000 years. Unfortunately, the people in charge never read stuff like this.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
