Management training: the saddest words in the world. To think: being sentenced to Management training. What a fate, being forced into Management training!
The management training facilitators are working at the limits of their intelligence: remember that. This is them at their best, dull and earnest. Them at the brightest.
They’re actually trying, that’s the thing. They actually think they have something to say. That they’re delivering truths. They believe in this stuff – they really do.
And what of our fellow academics around us, taking notes? Looking attentive. Asking pertinent questions. How can we account for them? Are they stupid? Are they dim bulbs? Does academia no longer attract the brightest and the best?
What catastrophe has befallen the entire university that such academics could be taking notes in a session of Management Training? What disaster has taken hold of the entire world that they’re not man and woman uprising in shouting protest at this course of Management Training?
Something’s happened to their minds. To their souls. They believe in this. Our fellow academics believe in this. They actually think there’s something to be learned from Management training. Which is probably worse than the actual Management training.
No one to roll your eyes with. No allies, no friends. The loneliness is complete in Management Training. What human society there is merely forces you back upon yourself, in Management training. Merely shows you up as aberrant. As an Exception, in Management training. It’s your problem, not that of Management training.
Behold the compromised. Behold the complicit.
Corralled into Management training. Kettled into Management training. Destroyed by Management training.
