Staff Work and Other Horrors

Filed under: Work - Ric @ 5:58 pm

I am a trapped man. Trapped in a bureaucratic maze of paperwork and performance evaluations. Remember the good old days when your manager patted you on the back, told you that you were “OK” and then gave you a raise that resembled paltry crumbs left over for mice? Well now we have to carefully examine every nuance of the professional career of our staff. All accomplishments rated, all goals and aspirations assessed. All written up in incredibly long winded forms that once signed will never again see the light of day.

Ah yes but this new, modern, efficient tool of the Human Resource gnomes will ensure that proper rewards are handded out. That merit will have its due. [sound of breaking glass and screeching brakes]. Nope. We still only get to give out paltry crumbs, but we have to work harder at it than before.
