Corporate IdiocyComedian Al Murray recounts a run-in with industrial-scale stupidity: "Car insurance company rang, without having sent me a renewal letter, asking for money. Made them answer security questions." In the same vein, tell us your stories about pointless paperwork and corporate quarter-wits

Teambuilding exercises are wankI seriously do not understand the point of them at all. They drag you offsite, usually to a hotel, make you do a bunch of pointless Edward de Bono style exercises and then the next day you're back at work having learned nothing whatsoever.
Perhaps it's how HR and senior management justify their existence by participating in this shit, but to me they're an utter waste of time and money.
If you want a team to bond, send them to the pub or a fancy meal. After work.

I couldn't agree more, I refuse to work for major companies, I enjoy being able to punch staff whilst getting a basketball thrown at my head from the owner across the warehouse. Paff

That sound sarcastic, but was a really brilliant company.
