My new manager is straight out of a Dilbert strip.
>"Hey when's the deadline for this new project"
<"We here at MegaCorp find it counterproductive to think of deadlines. Imagine yourself in a box..."
>"nigger when is the deadline"
<"the box is very tall and you only have a certain number of blocks to stack to get out..."
@RustyCrab I used to work corporate desk jockey for a summer, and I'd joke with my coworkers about making the most empty spiels filled with as many platitudes as possible while still appeasing the higher-ups. Stayed up one night taking notes on Paradigm Shift 2070 to hone the craft.
@inertia I honestly think these infuriating tendencies are exactly why he was hired. The company is currently failing and they are attempting to placate higher ups with an endless conveyor belt of excuses
