You know you work at a Shitshow when.....

Much like Jeff Foxworthy's "you know youre a redneck when", I have come up with a sure fire checklist to determine whether you work at a Shitshow or not.....

You know you work at a Shitshow when..........

1.) You regularly atted Configuration Control Board (CCB) Meetings
2.) You have multiple Quality Assurance (QA) organizations
3.) Your company has mandatory online training modules that you have to take annually
4.) Your bosses include: functional and program management, IPT leads, team leads, deputy leads, and contractors who dont even work at the Shitshow.
5.) You have daily status emails to brief management who is too lazy to attend normal status meetings.
6.) You regularly use the phrase "lets lean out the process"
7.) You have process documents that state things like "ensure all stake holders attend a peer review"
8.) Your department does a Re-Organization every 6 months
9.) You have performance reviews that state "you need to align your personal goals with those of the company"
10.) You have more management figures than people doing work
