Its an old refrain of inept management – who indeed are pigs at the trough for their god given perks – to find services and information packages . “This is here to help you – to make you more efficient , productive etc etc.”
All true but the hidden agenda may well be to maintain and enlarge the execs / sales managers / supervisor’s means to get another job in the industry. After all if they are not “experienced” “familiar “ with the alphabet soup of the day their days of promotion to another or better or escape hatch job – while the going is not too bad – are somewhat limited. “Are you experienced with gobbledygook number x 2009 …..No then come back and see us when you are.” Guess which exec or employee pushes for that new computer program / management tool / monitoring program ?
The most amazing part is that once in place , after all the preparation and high priced staff in place to lecture willing or captive employees on the merits of the program , that upper management , supervisors and bosses are totally inept at any simple comprehension of the basis of the whole program and its concepts.
For example on the plane , with plenty of scotch , they may glance over an add in a magazine ( which they borrow off the plane , after all they paid a business class fare) , which states that the “phone is the most underutilized tool of most employees – let your fingers do the walking…” . One may well ask what about the internet and the mouse in this day and age of the year of 2009. At meetings , in interviews and on meetings in the field ( as an observer only there to help) , the exec/ supervisor boss may well spout this phrase incessantly . However at the same time he may well admonish staff for using the phone too much.
Its not a case simply of trying to cause trouble and prove whose boss , of incompetence or even stupidity. People go back to what they “grew up under “ and what they know. Alcoholics or children of alcoholics and dysfunctional homes often go right back to the same behavior they knew and grew up under . Why – they know it works , its rock solid and after all it feels “best”.
In the same way and manner most managers no what the program is , or what the new flavor is – which has been bought or cost a fair amount of money of resources to purchase and implement will always go back to “more of the same “. Count on it. Its a truism of life. Get with the program.
