There is currently much discourse in the workplace, and it's all down to Pointyhead verbosity.
We had a communique about how we need to reach an emotional burning platform. Now, to me, burning platforms is pirating operating systems, and thus a source of illegalment!
Not a very good practise for an Insurance Giant!
Actually, the cretin who came up with this latest round of management bollocks, explained it. Apparently, some git was on the platform of an oil rig, when it blew up. He had the choice: Stay on the platform and hopefully be winched up before combustion ensues, or dive into the chilly sea and hopefully be winched up before hypothermia or drownage kicks in. Or et by sharks.
Which to me, is basically Hobsons Choice - up shit creek without a paddle!
And if faced with a choice of burning alive or drowning to death, you'd be pretty emotional too!
I could be a manager - my blogs got as much bullshit in as any managers 'Town Hall Session'! Hmmm... I'l stoke that in the fireplace, see if the embers flare up, sift through the ashes and extract the valuables whilst not getting my fingers burnt.
Managers! Self indulgent tosspieces with far too great a love of circumlocution...
Not like me.
I write dead simple stuff what people understand...
(said people clearly being my multiple personalities... none of which were ready to step in and take over in the presence of the CDB. BASTARDS!)
