Submit Your Bullshit...
Share. Laugh. Send it in...
|
Here is the deal:
Send us your bullshit!
- Choose an email or memo or whatever from work that you feel is funny, disgusting, or just plain shitty. It can even be a photo. I don't care, as long as it's bullshit.
- Note that what we're looking for here is direct, documented bullshit given to you by you manager or their manager or their manager's manager, not stories like "yesterday my boss was such an ass, blah blah..." Think of Matlock, we want REAL TESTIMONY of bullshit, not 'hear-say' evidence!
- We'll remove any references to any specific product, person, or company. Or you can do this yourself if you wanna be double-careful.
- If you are paranoid, send the email from a Hotmail account or something where your job can't track the email.
- If I like it, I'll post sometime this decade.
- Pretty easy, huh?
Email: sendmail ... [at] ... bullshitjob ... [dot] ... com. If you are a real person and not a spam-bot you'll be able to figure that one out.

Manager's Corner aka. Piled Higher and Deeper
Volunteers: Assignments with impossible deadlines or pointless pet-projects work best when asking for volunteers. Offer nebulous rewards with as few specifics as possible like "an appropriate amount of comp-time", or "the thanks of upper management", or the ultimate, vague non-reward, "a chance to work on elite company-critical research projects in the future". If no one volunteers, assign it to the team-member least qualified to handle the project, or failing that, the least paid. After struggling alone, the novice employee will eventually have to ask for help from your more senior team members. Such a debacle will assure that your most qualified employees will voluteer in the future for such projects, knowing that inevitablly it will be fall on their shoulders anyway.
