Waiting to find out if I am a “Business Case”

Who came up with this term, anyway?

I haven’t been here for long, but long enough to see to which degree upper management is detached - from company, from employees, from customers, and from products. As if they landed from another planet. I am waiting for 14th and 15th Feb with almost a glee. Finding out that I am a definitive BC would be a release and a push to go look elsewhere. There are some decent places left in this country where one would actually have a sense of professional accomplishment (well, sometimes), right?

So, during the second world war, the Germans had units called Einsatzgrunnpen whose job was to go behind the German Army and ki-l the various groups of people they believed inferior. They would keep records of the number ki-led and send them up to the German National Socialist government as "Natural Diminution". A rather sterile and emotionally removed term to hide their crimes in abstraction. This is common behavior with bureaucracy. Welcome to the machine.

Just take the severance package and move on with your life. Cisco aint worth it.
