Yeah, so what’s your point?

Would you rather do real work?

Is this congress?

We had an Engineering department like that at a company I worked at long ago. They solved the same six problems over and over.

Yes.

She is going for the vice president of useless meeting position!

Those are the best kind of “problems”.

“Tech Support, how may I help you.”

“My computer isn’t working.”

“Have you tried turning it off and back on again?”

“No.”

“Try that and call back if you are still having a problem.”

“Tech Support, how may I help you.”

“My computer is still not working.”

“Is it plugged in?”

“No.”

“Plug it in and call back if you are still having a problem.”

Sounds a little like what has been happening in the White House – except that they’ve created problems and not solved them. Then they place blame either on the previous president, racism, Putin/Russia, greedy businesses, or climate change.

He should add “dumpster fire” if things get bad enough.

It must be congress.

they must be consultants: You may not be part of the problem but there is good money in prolonging the solution

That’s a genius strategy. It works

Shhhh

Management work – especially middle management – is going obsolete.
