The two day/one day deal is a total garbage dump this week.  Sheesh.

Going to be out of communication range most of today and tomorrow....new hot to trot big boss decided I needed "Manager Trainiing".  The guy is simply brilliant.  Must read a management theory book a month...comes in with a whole new lingo and set of objectives after he finishes.

Sheesh, we went through that management book a month routine 10 years ago.

You probably do need some fresh business success lingo.  "Ladder of Opportunity" and whatnot is so yesterday's thinking.

Also had to fight hard from laughing in his face a couple of weeks ago when we had the career development talk.  When I told him I wanted to keep on doing what I'm doing for another year or two then retire, he didn't know what to say.  Don't think that was in any of his scenario's.

Considering he is a VP of Division Quality... and his motto for this year is Cost before Quality....nothing else need be said.
He's an operations/process guy, don't know how he got this position.

Sounds like you need to read some employee engagement books, we did that routine last year.

Cost before Quality?  What does that even mean?  Or perhaps its inscrutability is what makes it so clever and apropos.  Pretty sure that's how this stuff works.

First off it's the antithesis of any Quality organization that I've ever known.  Basically, it means that whatever you are doing/implementing, it has to have measurable metrics and those metrics have to show cost savings based on the action.

One can only hope.  That is usually reserved for the interpersonal/cultural enhancement/lifestyle appreciation type courses.
