Do any of you ever run across notes, scraps of paper, or old emails that bring back a shudder of distaste at the various theories that governed workplace shifts (or disguised negative changes in workplace conditions?)
I just found some notepaper from some old, undated presentation I attended, somewhere and place lost in time. My scribblings:
"Responsibility matrix (list of topics for DA 101 and DA 102, color coded"
"Climate for Innovation Components" (to which I had added, "Inexplicable Title," though now I have discovered that there is such a thing, at least in management theory, as "an innovation climate."
"Organizer spoke about how he wanted to hire stewardesses."
"Apostrophe error in first frame of presentation."
I REALLY disliked attending powerpoint presentations about new management philosophies that would now supposedly govern our activities. But, eventually, I came to realize they were not meant for me, but were simply means of generating some paragraphs for the institution's annual report, and keeping consultant companies in business. Now, I smile.
What about anyone else, do you ever find such scraps of notes in old file folders?
