THE PLAN
In the beginning was the plan
And then came the assumptions
And the assumptions were without form
And the plan was completely without substance
And the darkness was upon the face of the employees
And they spoke amongst themsleves, saying:
IT IS A CROCK OF SHIT AND IT STINKS
And the employees went unto their supervisors, saying
IT IS A PAIL OF DUNG AND NONE MAY ABIDE THE ODOUR THEREOF
And the supervisors went unto their managers, saying
IT IS A CONTAINER OF EXCREMENT AND IT IS VERY STRONG SUCH THAT NONE MAY
ABIDE IT
And the managers went unto their directors, saying
IT IS A VESSEL OF FERTILIZER AND NONE MAY ABIDE ITS STRENGTH
And the directors went unto their executive directors, saying
IT CONTAINS THAT WHICH AIDS PLANT GROWTH AND IT IS VERY STRONG
And the executive directors went unto the presidents, saying
IT PROMOTES GROWTH AND IS VERY POWERFUL
And the presidents went unto the Board of Directors, saying
THIS NEW PLAN WILL ACTIVELY PROMOTE THE GROWTH AND EFFICIENCY OF THIS
ORGANISATION AND THESE AREAS IN PARTICULAR
And the Board of Directors looked upon the plan and saw it was good
and the plan became policy
THIS IS HOW SHIT HAPPENS
