Managers...
-
A group of managers were given the assignment to measure the height of a flagpole. So they went to the flagpole with a ladder and measuring tape. They keep falling off the ladder, dropping the tape and the whole thing is in a mess. An engineer comes along and sees what they are trying to do. He walks over, pulls the flagpole out of the ground, lay it flat, measures it from end to end, gives the measurement to one of the managers and walks away. After the engineer left, one manager turns to another and laughs. "Isn't that just like an engineer? We are looking for the height and he gives us the length!"

Did they add 10% for "estimate contingency" then divide it in half for "deadline heroism"? (Otherwise how are we sure that they are managers.. other than that a group of them are trying to perform a task that isn't parallelisable...)

Typical engineer, neglects to tell the managers to factor in the section that goes into the ground. And the engineer will find a way to make it the interns fault when the manager purchases a flag that is too large to fit on the pole.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Typical mid-level managers, not realising when the chairman said "run this up the flag pole and see who salutes" he was using a metaphor.

You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Struck me as odd, I would have thought they would schedule a set of meetings to decide which of them will assign it to a minion.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH
