anyway, the presentation was on QES and no one had any idea what that meant until the 3rd slide... the guy was all, "QES blah, blah, blah... QES is awesome and QES can make sunshine and rainbows come out your ass! and QES, QES, QES... QES!" and we're all sitting there staring at him like potatoes at a nuclear physics convention. QES - quality, environment, safety...
have you ever wanted to tell someone that their job (and by extension theur life) was meaningless? and that no one takes them seriously...? the company has a whole QES taskforce with people who's sole job it is to invent and implement pointless make-work based on industry buzz words... i imagine phrases like 'synergy', 'actionable', 'repurpose', 'value-add' get thrown around A LOT at the QES monthly meetings.
apparently, the QES policy to have a QES board in each office with all of the relevant documents printed and displayed is in direct conflict with our sustainability policy of not printing shit off if it is available online... a great example of the left hand not know the right hand it scratching its ass.
in the end, i didn't really learn anything and i got a free pizza lunch... oh and also, i created this lovely doodle of a boy and girl dinosaur falling in love:
