I had to sit through 3 hours of corporate drivel today regarding KPIs, SLAs and future growth in IPOs.
After putting up with this for over 13 years with my previous employer and having every inspirational and motivational process forced on me one after another - it was rather a walk in the park.
Even my wife who works for a well known upper-class retail store has also recently undergone a similar presentation and has been asked to design a card or poster of Key Business Goals to keep with the staff at their designated tills to remind them why they are there. Ummm… sell? Even the retail workplace is not safe from this rubbish.
In my next job I am going to go small. A small company that is. Some place where crap like this is despised and downloading torrents and listening to the radio whilst you work is encouraged!
Alot of these KPI, SLA, QOS type presentations are all about common sense.
Do your job. Do it well. Keep your head down and get on with it!
Those were 3 hours IÂ would rather have back, but then again I got paid for it so who am I to complain!
Well, it's not a giant lizard slaying robot and its not a new religion.

I feel it in my water that all this is coming my way also.
Corporate bollocks.
Listening to the radio whilst working? Can I come and join you?

I love it at the OU
