I have nothing against management. Really!

Love it, mean it!

Just the other day at work, we had a site-wide talent/skill contest.

Mr. Physics gave an inspiring lecture on quantum chromodynamics. So many big words, so little understanding.

Ms. Engineering presented a novel design for a multichannel instrumentation and data acquisition subsystem with integral pre-processor DSP that had an interface to the Mr. Coffee machine.

Mr. Administrative Assistant showed a software package that he had been consulted on that takes a voice recording and outputs the desired printed document, whether it be a memo, formal proposal, research paper, or whatever with a minimum of human intervention and in a wide selection of human languages.

The Management candidate presented a rousing and inspiring talk on employee motivation, touching on important topics such as layoffs, pay cuts, division consolidation and liquidation, the need for exemplary executive compensation and benefits. The new Mercedes. A most motivating presentation.

After all the presenters were finished, the panel of distinguished judges made their decision.

Miss Management had once again dominated (decimated) the corporate culture, putting all of the workers in their places.

Which is the unemployment line.
