Here we go again! Let the circus begin. Hunger games for the hoi polloi. When will we have a system that is fit for purpose, and serves business needs? It’s a rhetorical question. KO feedback will be asked for, and written till the cows come home. Brain cells will be obliterated in coming up with appropriate action verbs. May be ChatGPT will be helpful this time?
And when it’s all done, we will launch into that other process of overkill, aka Company Plan. As always, it will be obsolete as soon as it is completed (and perhaps earlier, because of all the assumptions). But plan we must, and we will evaluate all scenarios and then some.
Some day….

Coworkers stop doing base-business to push that one special initiative that they want to highlight for ranking. And you have to always have your best face on for 2-3 months; you don’t get to be human or have a bad day. Just a miserable time of the year.
We have to fire TG
