From reading this thread, there is overwhelming agreement that everyone hates management/H.R. Speak, so why do these large organisations persist with it, is it to widen the gap between us and them?
There use to be a saying about all this management speak. 'Bullshit baffles Brains'.We used to see through it most of the time.
Ahh you guys need to listen to a bit of Milton Jones :biggrin: He has a lot of those stupid sayings. Jim
When "Personnel" became "Human Resources" that told you all you need to know about what organisations think of their employees. They are not overly bothered whether they like HR speak or not. They are as replaceable as a PC.
Don't know if you saw the 2 programmes on over Christmas by Idris Elba in one of which he got to drive a Bugatti Veyron in London. He asked the owner what it was worth and he said the car cost £1.2 Million but with the registration no. which was F1, made it probably the most valuable Veyron in the world at £7 Million. £5 Million for a number plate! Why?
it bugs the arse of me when football pundits refer to the pitch as 'the park' im sure it was mr personality - shrearer we have to thank for that
I think you will find that those with a sense of entitlement and arrogance already had it, the MBA just allowed them to reinforce it more. I learnt a lot about people when I did my MBA (graduated in 1999). There were basically two types of people on my course : 1) Those that thought they were a cut above the rest, vocalised it ad nauseum, but were actually below average when it came to doing anything. 2) Those that were extremely capable, and got on with things effectively, efficiently, delivered results and did not make a big song and dance about it. Most people notice type #1s for obvious reasons. Type #2s are the real leaders.
I did mine in French here in Switzerland. Most of my fellow students were Swiss engineers. The only insufferable person was a Syrian pharmacist (and he was thick). The Swiss are a pretty discrete lot - that goes for MBA alumni too.
