In the Beginning was The Plan,
And then came the assumptions,
And the assumptions
were without form
and The Plan
was completely without substance,
and the darkness was upon
the faces of the employees;
and they spoke among themselves, saying:
“It is a crock of shit and it stinks.”
And the employees went unto their
Supervisors, saying:
“It is a pall of dung and none can abide the odour thereof”.
And the Supervisors went unto their
Managers, saying: It is a container of excrement and it is very strong,
such that non can abide it”.
And the managers went unto their divisional heads, saying:
“It is a vessel of fertiliser and none can abide its strength.”
And the divisional heads went unto the directors, saying:
“It contains that which aids plant growth and it is very strong”.
And the directors went unto the Chief Executive Officer, saying: “It promotes growth and is very powerful”.
And the Chief Executive Officer went unto the Board, saying:
“This new plan will actively
promote the growth and
efficiency of this organisation”.
And the Board looked upon The Plan and saw that it was good,
And The Plan became official company policy.
And that, as Forrest Gump would say, is how Shit Happens.
