Oh Shit, not another one - short rant

My boss is going to another Management Training Workshop.
He will spend several days playing games with an overpaid consultant in an expensive suit and bad cologne.
Last time he got these crazy ideas that just mucked up our time tested procedures.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Do these consultants ever do any good?

2. Don't You Know....A Consultant Is A Guy Who Borrows Your Watch
to tell you what time it is...Would any consultant or lawyer ever get paid if all he said was ....I've reviewed everything and it all looks great?

I empathize with you...
