Ouch. My employer went all in on Yammer for a while in 2016. Business versions of social media
Apologies didn't read down that far before replying.

Staring at the rude boys
We had an intranet with a homepage with lots of "interesting" BT stories, many of which were like "Colin puts customers first again", where a project manager got lots of praise for managing a project, those sort of "look at me, aren't I great" type stories.
The seniority of the person being lauded was directly proportional to the number of kiss-arse replies (often, strangely, from teams in India) stating "Well done Colin, living our values".

Come on share your plan, otherwise we might start to sympathise with the other guy!!!
Interested to know why. When I was at uni, you could tell the plodders because they rarely spoke in seminar groups and had little in the way of original insight. In the first few weeks, it was easy to tell who would get a 1st/2.1 and who'd get a 2.2 (or worse). Surely lecturers would be wise to the fact that someone who looked like they were lagging were suddenly producing dazzling essays.
I remember helping a student write an essay on Hobbes (I fancied her mate so I thought it would be a smart move to be helpful). I virtually wrote it all for her and she was pleased. The lecturers were wise to it though and singled her out to lead a seminar on the topic the following week - she was caught bang to rights.
Lecturers don't need Turnitin, they know who's good and who's not.

This is so true. I ****ing hate LInkedIn for this. Nauseating self promotion e.g. “I’m DELIGHTED to be at the annual big bollocks awards where I’m nominated as the greatest ****ing human being EVER for my contribution to selling ball bearings (which is an oxymoron if ever there were)” or “I’m DELIGHTED to be at the Palace today, receiving my OBE that is really a joint team effort blah blah”.
Then worse, a pile of sickophantic “congrats, you truly are wonderful” responses from their SUPPLIER NAMs etc” aka can i keep your business please?
This subject needs a new thread. LinkedIn is THE worst social media platform of them all. I can’t work out if it’s Hitler. Stalin. Or Genghis. Everyone sucking themselves off and being applauded by other self suckers for doing so. Can’t wait to put the ‘retired’ headline up with a sub header of ‘so you can all **** off now’.

I sat behind Dave at Withdean. Scary dude.
This week I have been in a “drains up” session and on an “all hands” call. So, apparently, I’m now a plumber. On a ship.

I’m sure there are some lovely people who work for Veolia at the Sheepcote tip, but they are hard to find. Most of them stand and watch, have a chat amongst themselves or check their mobile phones as elderly people struggle to carry their rubbish up several steps. But of course they can’t help the “customers” because of elf n safety regulations. Fortunately this means they have lots of time to think about the content and design of the latest new warning sign at the site. The Sheepcote tip has more signs per square metre than anywhere in Brighton, Sussex....probably the entire world. Veolia management have undoubtedly earned the right to feature in this thread as complete Bell Cheeses.

Apparently our Professional Learning Community leaders are known as Knowledgable Others. The Department of Education (Australia) is spending millions on a 'brand new' system of learning that looks to me, very similar to the old one.
Still changing everything every ten minutes keeps people employed I suppose.
Does an entire government department count as a single or multiple bell cheeses?

Up the Albion!
We have a new Human Resources Director. I had to attend a training session with her this morning.
She tried to get us to introduce ourselves to the rest of the group with a song & dance.
I walked out. Waiting for repercussions.
Happy Clappy Bullcrap.

I would have thought that was an ideal opportunity to give a rousing rendition of the Alphabet song.

Or any Albion chant. Maybe the 'blue & white army' song for around 5-10 minutes or so. That'll learn her.
