It might be well said that understanding and influencing the minds of consumers / your boss in the marketplace is a key to understanding either business success or alternatively your longevity at the workplace / work site.

Positioning is now recognized ( by many authorities)  as a fundamental – or at least a major underpinning – for market driven companies – at least in the scheme and schemes of manage mold  or perhaps better said – moulds.

Positioning is strategic, and it’s main purpose  ( perhaps) is to differentiate  the company from all it’s competitors  in people’s or perhaps “victim’s “  minds.  It is thus sometimes referred to as the “Battle for the Minds”  or better put “Battle for or of the “little minds”".

Why , or perhaps alternatively put – this is because positioning involves not so much what people perceive  but rather what ….. you do.    Thus this is what makes positioning and its ultimate purposes and powers  a most difficult challenge and set of challenges for most companies , enterprises and organizations in that it seeks an ultimate goal or set of goals of associations in people’s minds, that is to establish what the company , group or products mean to their lives.

Its not unlike peer pressure in a biker gang , and wanabees being told “You are not part of the group….. do you see how they are looking at you..”

Positioning strategies seek overall to influence people to think that there is something different or ultimately unique about this company, product or set of products.  It is not unlike insurance or perhaps prescription pharmaceuticals being an intangible good or set of goods.  Selling the prestige of an alcoholic beverage might be said not to be far off as well.

If “people” cannot see anything unique , then economic factors such as price , and price alone come into play and govern the purchasing decision or set of decision. This so to speak is not a place that you want to be.

The company’s products or services then are little more than sheer commodities or put another way the employee or groups of employees become little more than numbers on the ledger of head offices or management and its all about “production” sheer production alone. Thus no extra effort , or efforts need to be made to shield staff ( production centers) from the ravages of moronic management and supervisory staff. Not a good place to be in the sun .

It might well be said in life that the lesson is that ultimately we control little and we have little control over others and ultimately even ourselves.
Yet many types continue this passion to the gates of insanity or at least into their lives of managers.

You would think that this lesson would be apparent to these people of high intelligence and motivations (?) ….. You might think that they would be most concerned about the time spent away from employees . Yet it seems their biggest preoccupations seem to be proving to their staff the golden rule – that is alternatively “those that have the gold rule ” or “the rules are golden and they are My Rules”.

It might be said “Who Cares ?” or ” Little things for little minds”
Yet these types persist – into the gates of insanity or at least abject foolishness or foolhardiness.
Worse yet its a case of monkey see , monkey do as they follow the example and examples of long gone or long dead managers who preceded them.

What a bunch of stupid people and downright morons !

It is often attributed that if the first profession or first means of work were prostitutes then politicians came second

Yet one wonders where the role of bosses or that of supervisor staff came into play or into the limelight ?????
At the worst it could be said that at least the women of the night are performing an important social function and have some value in life , and as well are performing an honest days work

Not so with most politicans ( especially the current crop) and most bosses or supervisors

It might be well said that America and American politicians are not involved in a true “democracy”
I voted Republican / Democrat because my father / pappy did is the  refrain of most

It can be said that the situation is not unlike that in a country town with two drugstores

Troublesome customers can go back and forth between the two establishments with their imagined woes

On top of that , when problems arise ( as they are bound to do in life) , the customer can go to the “other one” to come back later

Thus if problems do happen on the job , or in interactions the establishment / management is never held to task or asked to be truly accountable

Some form of management

An apparently most important point and concept that often gets forgotten or waylaid in the writing of these important “memos “  to the troops is to always explain and mention the reason or reasons for said memo.

This might be said it is akin to the victim of  a lynch mob being explained why he is hanging from the noose.  If it is readily apparent – good , if not the reason may be the event is occuring because their is no logical reason by any means , forms or rational explanation.   Yet the powers that be will go out of their way to make sense and rationality out an apparent non-rational even arbritatry choice or decision.  Ultimately it comes down to “It has been decided”

The example might be given of a test given in a standard form by a well known forensic psychologist.

The story is told and elaborated that at the  funeral of her mother a young lady meets a man of her dreams.  She has never met nor related to any person  by this means previously what so ever.  Two weeks later this young lady savagely murders her sister for no apparent reason.  What is the reason ?  Can you explain this – subjects being interviewed and assessed were asked.

The answer that those who were labelled psycopaths – indeed this may well be a very good test of  “management potential”  was that the girl killed her sister – because she knew at the funeral that she would meet that man or a similar personality yet again.

Somehow this makes great rational sense both in the mind of psycpaths  and past , present and future managers as well as those with “management potential”

More of the same – Here we have the “To Do list” of memos
Imagine the ability to comprehend  and prioritize  …..

- Do summarize the policy upfront

- Use the subject line to subject between the new or revised policy and an already established one.  Without such a subject-line  clue ( or lack of clues – a clueless alchoholic stupor itself a commundrum ) ,  the reader or poor victim  often skips ( or cannot even be bothered to even open the envelope), thinking that he , she or it  is already more than informed  about the stated ( or unstated) policy or policies

It can be said and summarized – what a waste of time , who needs it and you would be better off to have stayed home in bed rather than be subjected to just foolishness and downright waste of time.

Yet it all goes under the guise of  “Management “  and “Management Prerogative”

You may well have received such instructions from  “Head Office “  – Perks Central

It is an amazing fact of life ….rah …. rah .. rah that perks and power trips come first and foremost

If people are “no longer with the company”  it is often is not usually in the form of a power trip.  The concepts of what productivity and results these personalities brought to firm are seldom discussed or noted .   Never mind as well the investment in time , energies and “Management Time ” ( and expense was involved)

Its a case of the rules are golden – we are here to discuss and be open minded t0 what we want…….  I am the boss

Here is one example of the mindset :

General Guidelines for Contributions:

Although the company’s contribution  program  will be administered in a flexible manner in response to changing community needs, the general guidelines below will apply:

1) The company prefers to focus its giving though significant  contributions ( in excess of x $ dollars) to key organizations rather than to numerous smaller contributions to many organizations

2)Contributions  are limited to nonprofit organizations  exempt from taxation under the Internal Revenue Code and Codes

3) All recipients will operate their programs  according to equal opportunity objectives

4) Commitments should generally not exceed three years to assure the company’s flexibility  to changing needs

5) Requests / proposals for funding  should be submitted during the second quarter of the year preceding funding

6) All solicitation made by phone  verbally should be verified in writiting

The amazing part that with all of these rules and guidelines how many times management will simply sabotage efforts on the “front lines” when it comes to short sighted – almost knee jerk reactions , poorly thought out or through, when it comes to funding to important customers that is arbitrarily changed and reneged upon . Lol lots of laughs.

Here is a tale of woe in the “Civil Service”  oft called “Silly Service”  aka “Silly Servants”
President Obama wants to increase the ranks of these highly productive workers and yet in Canada it is reported that the biggest health crisis of all is “depression among civil servants”

75 % of the executives in these ” high positions  and jobs”   say they are on the verge of burnout or suffering from extreme fatigue.

Disability claims among these government workers as a whole are climbing with 30 to 40 % estimated to be for depression.  Indeed mental health claims doubled between the years 1997 and 2007 and now account for fully 45 %  of all claims.

What could be the reason for these problems in paradice ?

What is stated by the participants is that there is a quandry of meetings , distractions and more meetings, utlimately with no one in charge.

Go figure !  One might of thought that it was only in the private sector that one would have these problems.  The civil service is generally regarded as a low stress , but stable job.  On top of that add in unions , the power of union grievances as protection and ultimately early and lucrative pensions

Government workers generally hide behind the power of facade of government – the “crown ” in Canada . “Crown Corporations ” even though allegedly privatized , can not be held liable for their actions or damages.

So what is the problem ? “What’s the frequency Kenneth ?” .  If you cannot stand the heat get out of the kitchen.  Or is it too cushy and you are afraid to “get a real job”.

The universal soldier.

Some interesting points for management on “how to send a memo”

It might be said that the purpose of a memo often is to show staff  “who is boss” or alternatively put to make an appearance to either pretend that the writer is around important  or is around or in the limelight

In many cases   ( if not most) , the writer of the memo should either of stayed in bed or followed the adage – attributed to Abraham Lincoln that it is better to keep one’s mouth shut and have people think that you are an idiot rather than open one’s mouth and reaffirm this. (paraphrased)

Here are some points and pointers for writing a memo dealing with “legal opinions”.  Follow these and check out , as well as verify if any of  the current memos that you have received or been the victim of have followed these rules and precepts ?

Remember the adage “I am the Boss and the rule are mine”

Its not all unlike a two year old holding in their bowel movements as a show of force

1) Don’t lapse into gibberish intelligible only to your occupational species

2) Don’t write in the abstract to “Everyman”".  Picture your readers and write to them as you would explain the situation for their specific applications

3) Don’t bury important ideas in long sentences and paragraphs

4) Don’t simply restate a law or the contract’s wording.  Make application to the question at hand

5) Don’t make the reader look elsewhere for contract details to understand the basic message

6) Lastly do not be wordy.  Cut the legalisms from your memo;  redundant synonyms ( last will and testament, maintenance and upkeep, null and void):  ready made subject introductions that could fit into any number of opinions on the same subject matter , unnecessary quotes that you could paraphrase, formal -isms  ( party of the first party) ,   plain old everyday repitition

The list goes on and on

Ultimately it must be always remembered and noted – most memos are seldom read or at the best given one short cursory look over

It is as if the person the person who writes the memo does so to hear themselves “talk”  not to make any valid or useful point or add value to the conversation or to the world

Ted Stevens you have no one to blame but yourself.  Put or shut up with these morons and management wannabees.  Simple as that.

The tale is told of one “screw up” who went through life blaming others .  No matter what “the world f…. me” Through good jobs – he was going to teach multinational companies ” a lesson” , through his union ,  through the IRS tax department, through the banks who in the end had to seize his house with its carefully tended lawn, finally down to the low priced lawyer he hired on a recommendation from an acquaintance in fish and chip shop to finally the real estate agent who had sold his home.

All self destructive behavior to no avail and no good reason what so ever by any means.  It appears to have been subconscious ploy to win the attention of a long gone parental figure – his father , from whom he never received the love and recognition he so much wanted and desired

An interesting case of the huff and puff of William Faulkner’s “The Sound and the Fury”  when in the end it all means nothing

Recently at a local auto dealership a sequence of events happened

First email stops. It turns out that an IT tech is called in.  The sales department is not getting email from the high powered online application form.  The computer and Outlook Express log on check out.  It worked before .  Passwords had not been changed on the Outlook Express nor email settings.  The IT tech determines that the issue must be on the “server side”

All is forgotten until Monday after the weekend when the tech is called again in a panic.  First its no email.  Next its no website.

It turns out the web host was not renewed. No one on top of that knew particulars – host , log on etc.

Once the host was up still no email nor website on the internet.  DNS Queries and Google Yahoo searches are blank.

The owner of the place keeps going back to Google checking like a dog looking for a lost bone under the blanket expecting his website to magically appear

It turns out that the domain name  had not been renewed either , had lapsed and was in a suspended mode

Again no clear cut lines of authority , records or delegation

What a foolish waste of time and energies

You may well have heard the phrase bantered around “Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs’ or roughly translated girls go to Clear Lake to find a boyfriend and guys …..
Or put another way “Paradigm shift’ as quoted by the management consultant Harold Howden – “at the sales meeting all of these suits were repeating the phrase “”Paradigm Shift”….. I had no idea what they meant….. you mean its like the farmer’s wife who kissed the cow because she wanted to ”

To a large degree , good communication requires mutual understanding a two way street. and adequate information about the subjects on hand involved. Lol when it comes to your boss. His only concern may be in getting into the customer’s pants.

Empathy ? Forget that.

Empathy means in general situating yourself to understand a situation. Communication has to improve to the degree that a person can see, sense and fully “feel” what the other person is seeing , comprehending or understanding. Lots of luck when you have a closed mind , that is all about power and inflicting your own power over others.

“The rules are golden and they are my rules’

Ultimately intelligent and wise people learn in life that ultimately you can control very little in life – not even yourself to the greatest degree so don’t even try.
Yet many a boss , manager or supervisor has “died trying”
Reminds one of a slogan outside a live bait shop “Our bait will catch fish or die trying”
Hope that your boss does.

Its an amazing example to deal with “older ” people who wish to acquire computer skills.  The exercise illustrates previous “business models”  and mores of management.

One must remember that in North America’s heyday – after WW2 , women went “back into the kitchen”, after running the war output , industrial Europe was devastated.  North America had its pick of any of the best workers that Europe – Germany and the UK – England Scotland had to offer , and life went merrily along.

In the 60′s if you did not “like your job”  then walked away – and “just got another”

Try that procedure and policy on for size now

Still the interesting part is that with many older people who have come up with the conclusion that they want a computer – especially women with laptops as they are cute , a key factor that comes into play is the absolute disavowal of learning typing skills.  Even when asked “What do you want to do with your new computer ? ….. and it is best to learn to type otherwise how else are you going to use your new computer comes the horror of the request and then the emphatic put down statement “(Royal WE)  Do not want to learn to / will not / do not will not TYPE!” .  End of statement.

In seems all in all , in summary that in most business offices that the typist was the lowest form of life in the organization.  Thus no matter the benefits, no matter the basis of keyboard entry in the world of pcs and computers to many older persons computer data entry in the world of pcs shows all the previous prejudice in the world of management of the 1960′s ( if not today)

Had enough of the jerks or jerkettes ?   Its amazing how people don’t do the simplest things at all.  A person without savings is like a ship without a rudder ready to be tossed and turned by any and every storm of even wisp of wind coming their way

Have a reserve set of capital.  Its your tax so to say.  Veteran broadcaster Bill Oreilly was taught by his father to put away 15 % of each and every paycheck automatically without question.
“It is your TAX”  the father taught.   This way you have a reserve fund that if the times or place is not your liking you can “shove off”  or at least have options in your mind rather than shaking like a neurotic poodle

If not then begin saving money and capital today to help see you through the next phase of “your career”.  If nothing else the job at “the new/ next place”  may be entry level than your current position.    Its no secret that many bosses you get in life may increase pay just to make it hard for employees to leave – or at the least highly inconvenient

People it seems in 2010 seem to live to their means – if not 10 to 25 % more.   You can thank credit cards for that

Pay and a lifestyle are highly seductive it seems

Once you move on – your reduction in pay will be only temporary.  Being happier ( and healthier mentally) in your new place you should rocket up the productivity and pay scales no doubt.

Keep and develop a resource source of funds and capital .  Its fairly basic and standard.

Remember in the end two phrases that are time tested “Time heals all” and “All things will pass”
Take great heed in the belief that in the end remember that that “this too will pass”. While you may indeed feel trapped in a job that you really hate right now – at this moment in time – take comfort that you will not be in this situation or place for ever ( or so you dearly hope)

Ultimately you are in charge of your career. Thus you can begin your job and career search and searches immediately for something and someone – that can only be better even if a marginal improvement and a host of improvements

Keep you chin up and upwards – keep a most positive outlook. Once you leave and move on ( as no doubt in your mind you will and must) it all will fade back into the past into oblivion. One big nightmare to be forgotten post haste

A most amazing case – and yet an example to learn from

A former legend in his own mind actually placed in his blog his interests “Love to read. The last time I was in prison I read all of John Grisham’s  books”

Amazing .  A real manager with values , value statements etc etc.

What can we lead from this .   First the power and powers of personal delusion.  Secondly the fact of always having to be on top.  Even in prison there is no remorse for the actions he took against others or means of repent or asking forgiveness of others.  Never at fault.  One might imagine that this is personal statement of always finding the silver lining.  Not so its a case of I am never wrong , the rules are golden and they are my rules

Lastly one of  delusional self seeking behavior to the nth degree

Your boss and manager

It can be said to the greatest degree that the time spent at a job that you hate under the worst pharaoh overseer can be the best time spent and the best impetus to move on and “shove off ” properly.  After all  think of your job not as simply putting in time – but rather of a time for developing skills – skills marketable for other employees.  On top of that you can laugh ( laugh out loud lol internally when your moronic boss comes to town ( to earn air points) to lecture you off the cuff on “time theft”.  After all by now you most likely will have learned that first of all there are no casual conversations and that this is all a long planned out , methodologically (?) planned speech concocted after all at a high priced management efficiency effectiveness retreat after many many drinks ( on management perks expense account)

Fortunately having your job does not mean , by any means , that you cannot be learning something new and most useful.  Just because they believe that they “have you under their thumbs” does not mean that this is so.  Use this time wisely as a time of self improvement and upgrading.  Take training courses – even at their expense, take the time to learn the new computer programs that the firm has purchased , ( even if you suspect that there are keyloggers installed on the computers and laptops)  Read books to better improve your skills and knowledge while boosting your value in the job market.

Imagine or to put the viewpoint another way – there is “Their time”  and “Your Time” on the job . Interestingly in the world of management control and the phrase “Personal Time for Personal Work”  when you have no “Personal Time ” what so ever.  Putting their time to your good purpose is not unlike your brother in law buying a deal on condoms , handing you some – which you use for good purpose to either screw his wife , or alternatively his sister.

What a bunch of morons ?

Many – if not most people would do fine on their jobs if it were not for their boss or manager

And yet not only do most people survive on their jobsite – in spite of “management “  and “I am the boss “  syndrome

The amazing part is just like highly paid civil servants ( who are most cases are simply putting in time) , these authorities actually believe that

1) The world could certainly not survive without them and their input

2) Everyone else is a peon – and in the case of most civil servants – everyone else is a thief – who on top of it all are not worth their pay by any means

Yet how does a person cope – or even survive in a job that they do not like and perhaps even “hate”

Firstly focus on what you really want instead of daydreaming and working out in your mind’s eye of how much you want to escape or really not want to be in the “here and now”

No doubt about it you will have already established well that your job at present is not “where you really want to be”.  However where do you really want to be ? Plan your alternate road map and means of getting there. That should not be incredibly difficult.

Think back to that fateful job interview ( which was long tossed away once you were hired and became slave and victim # 1)

What are your strengths ?  What are your weaknesses  ?  Lastly the key “You look like a person to me that knows where they want to be !  Where do you want to be in 1 year , 2 years / 5 years ?”
Now those were your original plans .  Is it not time to refocus your efforts back to your game plan ?  Is this just not a temporary detour from your plans ?

Remember Einstein used a dull job as a Swiss patent clerk as the opportunity to be able to finish and polish his manuscript on the Theory of Relativity to good purpose.

Isn’t this such a similar , wonderful situation for you ?
In summary the glass can be half full or half empty depending on how you view it.  Simple as that.

Interview Blunders

As if you did not have enough trouble with bosses – it all starts at the interview or interview.
Little things for little minds. It’s like a dietitian who is rigidly following what she or he was taught by their teachers who were rigid in themselves following what might have been the accepted dogma in 1912.
Try to explain anything or have a discussion about your health ( or in this case of a job interview concerns leading to your future mental health ), and voila its like you are , in actuality you are dealing with a 2 year old with anal retention issues.
Lack of any depth in any discussion.  If there is any knowledge its snippets taken out of context and given great weight.
It’s all very similar to what you can expect in the future- “we know”, “head office “, “we have the postmark” ……

Still if there are any mistakes that you can imitate in the interview process they might include

1) Lack of preparation – or perhaps over preparation.  Rather than being seen as an asset to the firm you may well be treated as a threat to the firm or organization (specifically to the interviewer or party in power).  A smart ass.
2) Dressing inappropriately – or dressing “better” or with better taste than the interviewer or boss
3) Poor communication skills – or perhaps proper communication skills.  If your gut or your grandmother sends out warning signs or notes warning signs run away as fast as you possibly can.  Steer a clear course of them
4) Asking too many questions.  You are expected somehow to ask – if you do not ask then somehow “the book” says that this is a bad sign. However if you ask reasonable and proper questions – then instead of being seen as an asset you are seen as a problem, a troublemaker.
What a bunch of morons

Chrysler LLC is discouraging white-collar employees from applying for jobs at former parent Daimler AG or its Chrysler Financial unit in a bid to keep jittery workers from leaving the automaker during its transition under a new owner and a new chief executive.Requests to interview for positions at Chrysler Financial and other Daimler units, including Mercedes-Benz USA, “are currently not advised,” Rita C. Rinner, Chrysler’s manager of global staff, wrote to senior Chrysler employees Monday in an e-mail obtained by The Detroit News. “Any exceptions must receive prior approval and should be channeled through HR.”

While the note was sent to senior-level employees and aimed primarily at them, the directive applies to all white-collar employees and their staffs.

The move came the same day new parent Cerberus Capital Management LP announced it had named former Home Depot chairman and CEO Bob Nardelli chairman and CEO of Chrysler, replacing Tom LaSorda, who will remain as president and become vice chairman. Cerberus’s $7.4 billion purchase of Chrysler was finalized Friday.

Nardelli is known for aggressive cost cutting and has vowed to quickly improve efficiency at Chrysler. His hiring has prompted nervousness among some employees, who took note of his record of cutbacks at Home Depot and General Electric Co. Nardelli earned his management stripes at GE, then moved to Home Depot after losing out on the top job at GE.

Chrysler spokesman Jason Vines said the “moratorium” is temporary and motivated by Chrysler’s status as a company in transition.

“Hold still,” he said. “We have a lot of other things to worry about. We are a new company with a new boss. Let’s get through the next few months.”

Dave Elshoff, another Chrysler spokesman, said the memo was aimed largely at people in the financial and accounting departments at Chrysler. “The idea is to build some stability while we are in a transition period,” Elshoff said. The move is to “hold them to their current responsibilities until we get through the beginning of the new Chrysler.”

The e-mail said exceptions to the policy could be made “when there is a good business reason to do so,” such as when a department must cut a job and an employee wants to leave. Also, employees “not succeeding in their current assignment” could pursue a job that “is a better fit” at Daimler or Chrysler Financial, Rinner wrote.

The transition is moving quickly at Chrysler.

Nardelli will take LaSorda’s old office at the top of Auburn Hills headquarters. LaSorda will move into the office of Eric Ridenhour, who was chief operating officer until he resigned Friday.

Nardelli returned to a family vacation in Mexico after the announcement Monday. LaSorda had delayed the start of a vacation in California meant to celebrate his 30th wedding anniversary. Both will be back at work next week.

On Monday, Chrysler also announced it had promoted a long-time financial employee, Ronald Kolka, to chief financial officer. Chrysler has made accounting and cash management a key priority under Cerberus. LaSorda said Monday that the firm instituted “daily cash” accounting after Cerberus announced it had agreed to buy 80.1 percent of Chrysler in May.

Daimler, said spokesman Han Tjan, had no policy barring Chrysler staff from applying for jobs. “We don’t have a policy of discriminating,” he said. “We try to get the most suitable employee.” Daimler, which retains 19.9 percent ownership in Chrysler LLC, wants to maintain a “collegial” relationship with Chrysler, Tjan said.

“From a collegiality standpoint, you wouldn’t try to poach key people from each other, but I think everybody would look for a mutual solution” if someone wanted to move from one company to the other, Tjan said.

Human resources experts questioned whether Chrysler would be able to enforce its requirement that employees seek prior approval.

Dave Ulrich, a business professor at the University of Michigan, said the memo could lead to good employees leaving. “What they need to do is create a clear process for dealing with all employees,” Ulrich said. “In the face of employment ambiguity, bad thing happen. The best employees who have choices elsewhere, leave and take jobs with another firm.”

“It behooves leaders to design a clear process for jobs and to communicate and then over-communicate what is happening to employees. If talented employees walk out the door, Chrysler is in trouble.”

It was after all a poor business decision and choice that i would not of preferred in any management sense. Is there a profit ?

Is three money or time to be made ? I do not consider it work , profit or management expertise lost. Apart from the biblical principles that affirm the good inherent value of work and proper management I would believe that my jerk boss- god in his own mind dressed up the garden of eden all for himself and god’s visions.

It was once remarked and noted by an experienced salesman at one such event – “I have been with many outfits . Its all the same . They are all the same. They bring you to nice digs out in the middle of nowhere ( control issues , to isolate employees to have their full undivided attention) , they feed you well , pour great amount of liquor down your throats.

Yet in the end it is always the same message :Get out there on your asses or work or you won’t have a job !”

And you wonder why the North American economy is in such trouble ?

It continues to be an amazement that in comparison to most of the rest of the world America is looked up to as the model of efficiency and effectiveness – productivity that most other places in the world can only look up to and emulate.  It reminds one of Winston Churchill’s remark that “Democracy is the worst form of government by far…. except for the others”.

If what we all put up with in terms of doing our jobs in spite of management , red tape and government bureaucrats who just smile , implement “strict privacy laws”  which seem to have great penalties – but are only applied to taxpayers and citizens – while not being applied in any measure to the day to day activities of those same departments.

Appeal treatment , you may get reams of policy statements , your rights as a taxpayer , ratepayer etc etc, yet the agencies have “Ombudsman”   to deal with such issues.  Yet these individuals are part of the whole same system , who want to stay out of the limelight , keep their budgets and obtain their valued promotions and raises.  It seems they can not be counted on any in any manner to step out of line and do ” the right thing”  Its all one giant game .

The following questions may well help you to identify sacred cows or “the sacred cows”  in your organization or workplace setting.

Wikipedia defines sacred cow as “The term sacred cow has passed into the English language to mean an object or practice which is considered immune from criticism, especially unreasonably so.^[1][2] The phrase is based on a popular understanding of the status of cows as ‘sacred’ in some Asian religions.”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacred_cow

Sacred cow

From the Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can change

In the relgion of Hinduism, the animal called a “cow” is thought to be sacred, or very holy. Most Hindus respect the cow for her gentle nature which represents the main teaching of Hinduism, non-injury (ahimsa). The cow also represents ghee and strength . Hindus do not worship the cow, but the cow is very honored in society, and most Hindus do not eat beef (the meat that come from cows). By honoring this gentle animal (living thing that isn’t a plant) that gives more than it takes, Hindus honor all creatures.

It is not known whether the cow was sacred and forbidden in the Hindu diet from ancient Vedic times. However, reverence for cows can be found in all the religion’s major texts.

The cow gives milk and cream, yogurt and cheese, butter and ice cream, ghee and buttermilk. The milk of a cow is believed to refine a person. The ghee (clarified butter) from the milk is used in ceremonies and in preparing religious food. Cow dung is used as fertilizer, as a fuel and as a disinfectant in homes. Modern science states that the smoke from cow dung is a powerful disinfectant and is good against pollution. The cow’s urine is also used for religious ceremonies as well as for medical reasons.”

http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacred_cow

It is best to start off by identifying the “cows”,  but at the moment don’t rush headlong into trying to herd the cows , chase them away or even deprive them of food , nutrition ( cash salary).   For example the ritual of going through “junk mail “  or “spam”  was one person’s self acknowledged sacred cow

A procedural list for sacred cows

1) List any systems , procedures. policies or habits that are outdated and that can be changed

note -  the worst organizations often have the best procedures and procedure manuals.  They have little else to do.  The prosperous , upgoing companies are often on the fly “doing work”.  They have no time to revamp systems.  There is productive work to do.  Yet their systems are often hodge podge and ramshackle -leaving new employees confused.  Some “management type:  often has to take them down the right of inconsistencies and simply tell them ” It makes no sense but this is how its done”.

2) What are the aspects of the jobs that you like the least , that are seen as “a drag”  or “drags” and wear you and other employees or seem like ‘busywork”

3)Which of any of the sacred cows are policies and procedures inherited from predecessors or idiot former managers ( some of which may be ceo’s at present)

4) Sacred cows which come courtesy of another department but can never be challenged due to “turf”  and “control “  issues.  You would think that you are working for different firms or at the least are on another planet.  What a bunch of stupidiyt.

5) If you can visualize yourself going through a typical  day , week, month or even year is there a list of routines at the office.  Mail comes in such a time , person c takes it from desk to desk.  It can never be done any other way or panic sets in .  Sounds familiar.  Why not break these routines – at least for fun

If you think if a comedy group – second city , Saturday night live -  were to attend most businesses and organizations they would have more fodder for material than they could handle in a lifetime – all with these sacred cows

Try this on for size.  You might be concerned about poor bosses , bad management practices or even bosses who you suspect have an alcohol or substance abuse problem or problems.   Yet there are certain organizations and elements of society that you would consider beyond reproach.  Among the most ethical individuals , authorities and institutions that you could ever run across , donate to , or work for.

Certainly these groups would preach and practice fairness , the essential nature of the “Golden Rule”  – that you treat people in a manner that you would wish to be treated yourself , and not do things or activities to that you consider undesirable , if not bad or downright evil.  The “Golden Rule”  is not a case of :” the rules are golden as they are my rules”

Consider this example of management practices in the current year of 2009:

“Sme people recently laid-off from religious institutions in Virginia said they were shocked to find the state does not offer them unemployment benefits.

Carol Bronson, who was laid off from her secretarial job at Temple Emanuel synagogue in Virginia Beach, said she was told her unemployment claim was denied because the tax exemptions for religious organizations under Virginia law include an exemption from paying unemployment taxes, The (Norfolk) Virginian-Pilot reported Monday.

“I had no idea that there would not be any benefits for me after leaving my job,” she said.

Rabbi Howard Mandell of Temple Emanuel said the synagogue was unaware of the Virginia tax law at the time of the layoff.

Jane Dembert, who worked for 17 years at the Christ and St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Norfolk, most recently as director of communications, said she was also surprised to have her unemployment claim denied after she was laid-off earlier this year.

Coleman Walsh, chief administrative law judge with the state employment commission, said most people he has spoken to were unaware that faith-based groups are exempt from unemployment taxes.

The Catholic Diocese of Richmond has a voluntary self-insurance arrangement with the state that allows laid-off workers to file for unemployment. If the claim is accepted, the state bills the diocese for the amount of the benefits collected by the recipient.”
