It’s time for a re-org!

One thing the higher ups like to do when things don’t seem to be working is to introduce a new organizational structure.  When the re-orgs occur the VPs send out emails explaining how the new organizational structure will do one of the following:

-help reduce cost
-help focus on execution
-help improve quality
-help focus on customer satisfaction

However, the odd thing about theses re-orgs is that nothing ever really changes. Programs still run over budget and schedule, things still break, and customers still get upset at the Shitshow.  How could this be?  Perhaps it’s due to the fact that it’s always the same managers and executives running the shitshow before and after the re-org.  Sure, these managers and executives might have a new title, a new management position, or a new responsibility after the re-org; it’s the same people as before the re-org.  That’s right, underperforming managers and executives aren’t fired or demoted, they just get new titles, promotions, or different responsibilities.

Because a Shitshow manager with any other title is still a Shitshow manager, I throw rocks.
