Thanks to a fellow Rumbler for the following comments and link:
Workforce Management Magazine analyzes the human resources (HR) trends in the public and private sectors and provides the tools that drive business results. Their Optimus Award recognizes forward-thinking management initiatives that achieve amazing business results for their organization. Anybody in ITA meet the requirements? Hmmmm...what about their Stupidus Maximus Award? The Stupidus Maximus Award recognizes the most ignorant, shortsighted and dumb workforce management practice of the year.
Check out their last year's winner:

Have we got Optimus or Stupidus in ITA? And the nominees are.........?
“When managers—particularly bureaucratic ones—are embroiled in a crisis, the last thing they usually do is get out front with frank communication. Instead, they huddle in windowless "war rooms," surrounded by quaking lieutenants, trying to figure out how to silence the barking dogs.”

Stupidus Maxiumus award nominee to the one
ReplyDeletewho thought up the "attendance improvement
program" and issuing all of those "sick
leave" reports as a form of arbitrary &
capricious retaliation for concerted
activity! And, when doing this, direct
supervisors were handing out reports to
employees in cases in which the numbers
on the report were NOT above the very
same values in the ITA Sick Leave Policy
posted on the web for all to see.
Document, document, document!
A Stupidus Maxiumus award goes to management for not allowing employees to be on the Reduced Workweek (RW) schedule, but want them to take off furlough days.
ReplyDeleteDUH!
