Bairnardo 28,643 Report post Posted July 10, 2019 Someone was talking to me about a wee trial at work yesterday. He happened to mention what the "deliverables" were from this trial. He was promptly laughed at and reminded not to use ridiculous words. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely if while driving down the "Avenue of Accessibility" you "Go The Extra Mile" the you've gone too far and missed where you were meant to go.

TheScarf 9,448 Report post Posted July 10, 2019 I worked for an It company in Inverness in a previous life, think ICTChris and someone else on here did too, and we had to do these yearly self assessment reviews. They took fucking ages, like a full day as there was so many sections to say how good you were at your job, and where you can improve, and 'give an example' and all that shite. I was actually paying attention to it one time, and was reading the questions, and there was 3 questions/sections that were basically asking you the same thing, just worded differently. I asked my manager and he said 'Aye just copy what you put in that section and paste it into those 2. These things don't get looked at anyway. You're getting a good review off me'. I'm sure our clients would've be happy to know they're paying for several resources not to work on their infrastructure for 100+ hours as we all fill in something meaningless for our own company. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
