A huge problem
I would like, for once, to thank our beloved
administration for the care it takes of us.
Whenever we feel depressed our administration
finds the right words to comfort us by sending
out an irresistible joke that warms our hearts.
Just to give you an example, look at the on-line
training course for integrity which was made
available to us recently. For those who haven’t
done it yet I would strongly recommend it in
order to have one or two hours of hilarity.
You will find in this masterpiece of bureaucratic
stupidity multiple choice questions
which were undoubtedly drafted by a
drunken Marx Brother. For example, one of
these questions is if a supplier offers you a
Rolls Royce should you accept it or ask for
the bill? Another crucial question is when
your boss asks you to go to bed with him or
her in order to get a promotion, should you
accept, refuse or report them? If one of your
colleagues is taking home a computer every
night without ever bringing it back, what
should you do? Close your eyes, help carry
the computer, or report him/her? These are
just a few of the questions you will have to
answer to get your compulsory integrity
diploma. Can you imagine such nonsense? If
you complete this questionnaire properly you
will be certified honest!
In return I would like to ask our administration
a few questions: Who was paid, and how
much, to create such stupidity? Why do you
take your colleagues for dummies? Is the cost
of the time I spend to answer this compulsory
questionnaire accounted for in the exercise?
Do you consider our English speaking colleagues
to be more stupid than the French
ones as the questionnaire only exists in English?
Last but not least: did you read this questionnaire
before putting it out on the Internet?
Because if so, I’m afraid that we have a huge
problem!
