The Plan

---

In the beginning was the Plan
And then came the Assumptions
And the Assumptions were without form
And the Plan was completely without substance
And darkness fell upon the face of the Workers
And they spake amongst themselves, saying,
"It is a crock of shit, and it stinketh!"
And the Workers went to their Supervisors and sayeth,
"It is a pail of dung, and none may abide the odour thereof!"

And the Supervisors went unto their Managers
And sayeth unto them,
"It is a container of excrement, and it is very strong such that
None may abide by it!"

And the Managers went unto the Directors and sayeth,
"It is a vessel of fertilizer, and none may abide by its strength!"
And the Directors spake amongst themselves, saying one unto the other,
"It containeth that which aideth the growth of plants, and it is very strong!"

And the Directors went unto the Vice Presidents saying unto them,
"It promoteth growth, and it is very powerfull."

And the Vice Presidents went unto the President and sayeth unto him,
"This new Plan will actively promote growth and the efficiency of this
company, and in these areas in particular.."

And the President looked upon the Plan,
And saw that it was good,
And the Plan became Policy

AND THIS IS HOW SHIT HAPPENS!
