Do Not List Bureaucracy

If you are every lucky enough to find a job outside of the Shitshow you are given a chance to throw rocks when you fill out your resignation paper work.  I haven’t been lucky enough to actually see this form, but people moving on to greener pasteures have passed the word back to me.

On the form there is a write in box asking why you are leaving the company.  However, in the directions for that box it clearly states “Do not list bureaucracy.”

Let’s review some of the bureaucracy at the Shitshow:

-flunkitional managers get to make up processes based on their mood
-new hires write processes that become ill formed laws
-you enter the Twilight Zone when you deal with HR
 -people are required to take laptop safety training when they don’t even have a laptop
-credit card bills go months without being paid because King Kong can’t sign a paper
-when applying for an internal job you have to take a “structured interview”
-you need to get functional manager permission to charge overhead
-you need to get functional manager permission to charge overtime
-you’re not allowed to move your own phone or computer because of union rules

The list could go on and on.

Because when you’re leaving the Shitshow you’re not allowed to list bureaucracy as a reason for leaving, I throw rocks.
