I am okay with Piloted and Un-piloted. I will save my rage for terms like “on-boarding” instead of “hiring”, “reach out” instead of “contact” and “circle back” instead of...I don’t know what the f*ck these dickheads are trying to say...

I contacted a human resource humanager, and have been informed that:

"on-boarding" is a term to subtly prepare new hires for the job feeling like waterboarding everyday;

since one's reach exceeds one's grasp, reaching out ensures better coverage;

"circle back" = revert.  Not respond, never reply.  Bloody revert, to your previous state.  You've circled back, see?

My organization got infected with this:

I so miss the workplace idiots.  🙂

There were two different types of folks in the workplace--those that talked a lot about getting stuff done, and those that actually got stuff done.

Don’t forget those who questioned those that got things done and why those that got things done were allowed to get things done without our input about talking about getting things done...

And how about those that take so much time explaining how difficult something is to do, that it could’ve been done already. Love that and the word “try”; the preplanned word for an excuse is coming in the future.

I was part of a _real_ team (managers kicked out of the room--literally) that did "impossible" things for many years until the manager that protected us finally retired.     Then we were drafted back into the Idiocracy.    Then I retired.  🙂

i worked in a law firm once which had 47 employees - all the various lawyers, secretaries (although i don't think we can call them that - except on secretary's day when they expected lunch and presents and crap) and admin etc.

we had 51 committees. seriously.

Just think...if all the level-headed people said, “Enough, no more, we will not tolerate any more of this non-sense”, it would all end. But for some reason all the level-headed people kowtow to the psychos, and all in the name of “tolerance”. 

The shame of humanless space travel is that I’m really starting to think another plant would be quite appealing.

They're still having "humanful" spaceflight, it's just an open question whether we'll understand what it's called.

Society is failing. We will be lucky to have a functioning community in 50 years. In reality it will be a very tribal planet. Very Us vs Them.

Less than they expected. (yay! we came in under budget!)

But more than the public wanted or would tolerate. (you spent how much on what?!?!)
