TPS Trouble

The corporation I work for has compliance training so frequently that I often lose track when certain courses are due. We usually are required to take course like Violence in the Workplace, Harassment, Information Protection, Ethics, etc. Well. I was notified that two of my courses were overdue and I swear it was just like that scene in Office Space where, like, five different people within the span of fifteen minutes tell him to put a cover sheet on his TPS report.

"Hey, Allison, I noticed your compliance training is overdue."

"Complete your compliance training by tomorrow noon!"

"Oh, about your compliance training..."

That is such a great movie.

Great movie. Our new big boss talks just like Lumbergh. It's really funny-- and not at the same time.

You see , it's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care. And here's another thing, I have eight different bosses right now. Eight. So that means when I make a mistake, I have eight different people coming by to tell me about it. That's my only real motivation is not to be hassled, that, and the fear of losing my job. But you know, that will only make someone work just hard enough not to get fired.

Yeah. It's just that we're putting new coversheets on all the TPS reports *before* they go out now. So if you could just remember to do that from now on, that'd be great. All right!

I kind of felt that way when I went to a tiny little college in SE Vermont, and a went thrhough a streak of not remembering assignments or what have you, and the teacher kind of urged each of the other members of the class to remind me every time we crossed paths. Annoying at best, degrading at worst.

I've never seen that movie either.

How come Cardinal and bird flu were linked but not Office Space?
