Office/cubicle jobs include a certain level of stupidity. This is true whether you’re working for a large corporation or the federal government (the largest corporation of them all). I was inside a government building at work today when I noticed a poster on the wall. And by poster, I mean a piece of 8.5″x11″ paper. It was, well, less than genius. The subject was:
QUALITY
The creator of this poster decided to assign a phrase to each letter, apperently to help employees remember the importance of quality. They are (literally) the following.
Q – Quality built in
U – Use best practices
A – Always think quality
L – Long Lasting
I – Independently tested
T – Train for quality
Y – You!
I’m not even going to comment, except for this: if you’re going to do this kind of thing, you can’t use the original word again. I think the person that did this spend no more than 5 minutes on it. *sigh* Such is the working world.
