And the Survey Says….

Every year the Shitshow takes an employee satisfaction survey in order to figure out how people really feel about work and what areas the Shitshow can work on to make things better.  Once the results come out all of the flunktional managers scramble to start spinning the results and figuring out what they can do to make it look like they care.  Well this year the flunktional managers have out done themselves.

As far as overall job satisfaction the rankings are up a whole 1%, from 64% to 65%.  Of course they all patted themselves on the back and pointed out that it the increase was because of initiatives they took on to improve satisfaction. 

After the good news, the Zookeeper turned to the lowest ranking result.  It might be a surprise to you but people complained the most about feeling overworked. 

At first I was surprised, but then it all made since.  Any Bob figure, who does about an hour of real work on a good day, will always feel over worked even if he/she did nothing but surf the web.  The other 25% of the people who actually does do work is pulling the weight of 3 Bob figures so naturally they are overworked.

Of course this wouldn’t be the Shitshow if the problem wasn’t addressed in pure Shitshow fashion.   In order to address the overworked situation, the Zookeeper announced he would be asking for volunteers to form a task force to meet weekly to understand the issue and come up with solutions.   Of course this would be on your own time, as a project can’t fund this type of work and overhead is tight this year. 

That’s right; to help solve the issue of people feeling overworked the Zookeeper wants people to volunteer their own time doing more work. 

Because the Shitshow's solution to being overworked is asking you to do more work for free, I throw rocks.
