Back in 2008 'Corporate management speak' had reached silly levels at the Global Pharmaceutical facility where I worked as an Operations Team Leader, 'Bullshit' bingo was rife amongst us at meetings. I went away on holiday for 10 days, before which we had 4 Production Streams in my department (named surprisingly enough streams 1 to 4) that would occasionally break down, due to various engineering problems, which would then be discussed and hopefully resolved at a morning meeting. On my first day back at work I was told by my boss to prepare to lead a FMEA (Failure Mode Effect Analysis) meeting. "OK boss, what's the problem"?, he looked me straight in the eye and said "It's a big one, Tower 3 has completely fallen over and Tower 2 is wobbling, some Blue Sky thinking may well be required to sort this mess out". My decision to accept the offer of early retirement and voluntary redundancy was sealed at that very moment as I walked away smiling to myself and shaking my head.
