Dilbert-isms...

[MrViggy]

Heh. A friend at another company sent me this:

They implement a time card which is available to every manager and then they say:

What we are not tracking:
* Vacation
* Sick time
* Adds up to 40 hours per week
* Surfing the net

and they also said verbally that the time cards were not going to be used for reviews.

Then, another friend sent me this, in response (different company):

That somehow reminded me of a company that hired a consultant to measure productivity by counting vehicles on the parking lot at 9:00 am and again at 5:00 pm. Then they actually told us about it!

Anyone else encounter a Dilbert-ism at work?

I know someone who doesn't work and still gets paid.

How did he get that kind of deal going on.

[dglienna]

Probably gets paid to SUPERVISE the workers. Be extremely careful around him/her. He who controls the TIME on the clock gets the GOLD!

Been there, done that. 6 minutes difference killed a Probation period. Over a 6-week period! The person was remoting into the timeclock
and changing the time by a few minutes.

How did he get that kind of deal going on.

He is the boss's son.

Sits there, surfs the net all day. Sometimes he'll go out and do a little bit of work. Other times he'll sit around. And his daddy bought him a $50,000 company car. Sweet deal if you ask me.

Faced with an estimated effort of 30 man days, the manager responded: "That's great, only one man month !"
