MURPHY’S THREE LAWS OF MANAGEMENT
1. Management will only listen to those who tell it what it wants to hear.
2. The shortest path to oblivion is to persist in telling management what it doesn’t want to hear.
3. The majority of business SNAFUs occur because someone persisted in telling management exactly what it wanted to hear.

The quickest way to get your idea through to management, give it to the golden boy and get him to present it as an alternative, he gets the glory and you get the result you wanted ... and the business remains viable.Greynomad wrote: ↑Thu Sep 15, 2022 3:21 pm MURPHY’S THREE LAWS OF MANAGEMENT

I tried to come up with a carpentry pun which woodwork.
I think I’ve nailed it.
But nobody saw it.

The girl friend asked me to take the spider out rather than killing it .... so we went to the local bar, had a bit to eat and a few drinks. Turns out he was a nice bloke and worked as a web designer .....
