Memo from Work

Work I received the following memo at work yesterday:

"The pledge forms for your annual United Way donation are due in Ann's office by noon on Friday.  Remember, there is a mandatory 100% participation rate in this voluntary fund drive." 

It's "voluntary"... yet "participation is mandatory."  Someone in the head office must be using a different dictionary than I do.  *Sigh*

So the higher up the food chain someone works the less sense they can make? This explains much...

I spent far too long wading through management books for my (abandoned) dissertation title. Trust me, it's much worse once they get published...

Luckily I'm in the wrong line of work for that!
