I once worked for a company that thought the best way to make…er postpone a decision was to call a meeting. Little else than the scheduling of another meeting was the usual result.
Where I worked in the early ’90’s it happened the other way. The white collars went first, in a near bloodbath. Cubicle dwellers throughout the building had twenty minutes to clean their desks and get out. A second wave the next year took more of them, but also hit the warehouse and essential service people. Even the company chauffeur. The last wave, one more year on, took the rest from all departments and closed the place down. But these people had three months warning, and time to prepare. They even brought in reps from unemployment to enroll us ahead of time.

Lemme put down a cushioned mat for Ed to roll on, and make sure there’s an oxygen tank within reach for when he runs out of breath.

Actually, chairing such a committee might be perfect for Ed’s work ethic.

Looks like she’s keeping the tail until somebody takes the job!

4 years military, college and 4-5 years private sector employment, 32 years federal employment. What’s so strange or out of the ordinary about this?

And then hold a weekly company meeting on how to increase productivity.

I worked for a company one time that would send out 4-page memos telling us to reduce our paper usage.

Not to mention that the answer to the question posed would likely be unappreciated…eliminate several layers of management.

Dilbert would say “We can’t do that, we first need to form a committee to see if we should form a committee to reduce the number of committees”.

Great depiction of a laugh. And, come to think of it, he’s literally Rolling On the Floor Laughing. Made me chuckle myself.
