Liars or Trolls? Wrong or deliberately wrong...

Neh... I just question everyone else's sanity - mine's just fine.

As a management consultant I was constantly irritated by trite trot outs pinned to office walls. These were sold by trendy office supply businesses as “motivational!”


“There is no I in team.”

One of my team, when faced with that trite nonsense from a more than usually vacuous HR flak replied

But there are three in "patronising bint"

He won a formal warning and didn't buy a drink for a year.

There MUST be sufficient book material out there from all the reasons people were invited to an H.R meeting that constituted of "no coffee-no biscuit" options revolving around cultural re-education.

@RonW
All this manic "positive thinking" and "inspirational counselling" that is being pushed nonstop has people questioning their own sanity.

That’s the point!
There is a kind of consultant/lecturer who starts by coercing clients into colluding in assessments of their ignorance and then pulling their pre-prepared solutions out of a hat and taking a bow! Some of them can even manage it in the board room.

A colleagues in the business called them the “cuff links and shiny shoe brigade.”

“Whatever does not kill me makes me strong.”

…….. and similar bullocks.

And separately
As an armchair philosopher, whenever I read “I think therefore I am.” I want to throw the book at the wall - which could be unfortunate as it’s usually a Kindle!

Point of order but depending on how you look at it there is an I in Team, its in its A hole.

 

[Pattree]

Indeed - it’s in the A hole!

Given that the first half of that video is teaching people about a woman's menstrual cycle, i'm not going to give it any respect at all regarding your point. Were you ever in the military Jared? Tampons arent supposed to stop the bleeding from a bullet wound. They help in slowing the flow, while a proper dressing and pressure is applied. They give you a bit more time, but are not a solution in itself. In short, they buy time. As a side note, Condoms arent for collecting water either, but they can manage it in a pinch

Hahah. What the **** are you doing?

Tempted to post this in group with many military medics, so they can have a good laugh too.

Btw, was never in the military, closest was being trained in first aid by a retired sergeant, but was still doing TA things. That was over 30 years ago.
