We have outside consultants in the office today. They are the "efficiency experts".

I have been forbidden to approach them.

Funny, funny chit.

"I wouldn't say I exactly miss it".

start walking around alot looking lost.... use a trash can on the other side of the building and stuff...

not sure what you do so I'm not much help...

when you talk to them tell them in a given week you only do about 15 minutes of "real work"

Ask them if they've ever heard of C-bid? Then go on and on about how much fun the forums are day in and day out..

I love going into client sites as an "efficiency experts".

The best part is the look of horror. You would think I was death walking in.

I've found that to be a great line for when people ask me what I do for a living...they kinda shuffle off quickly.

Tell 'em you'd gladly give up your Boston for a paycheck again.

The Swingline's non-negotiable however.

ask them if they herf.

Everytime I see this heading I think it says BOOBS. Wonder where my mind has been. Guess too much looking at the Breakfast Bar picture. 😉

I see boobs every where too.....

Strike up a conversation about Frederick Winslow Taylor and Frank Gilbreth.

My boss was late for his efficiency meeting.

Hey, what's wrong with efficiency experts!

...we always get a bum rap.

These same "experts" were at our company in a different department. Their suggestions were implimented and service went into the crapper. A year later, everything switched back to the way it was.

After it switched back to the way it was originally, Management crowed about the vast improvement over the prior year.

It all makes my brain hurt.

...and the efficiency experts got paid!

(it is a good gig to be a consultnat.)

.......... I guess.............. everybody wins?

At one time I worked in a distribution center for Bristol-Myers, they had the effiency people come in from New York.

They had a younger girl with them whom didn't know what a pallet was.

The best part about being a consultant is that you get paid for giving "advice". YOUR advice.

I’ve done some computer networking consulting work and they will do anything you say, even when you were kidding.

Then you get the ones who will pay a fortune for advice but find some reason why they can't implement any of it.
