My bosses want me to holistically transition, should I?

As a graduate of Pachyderm University, I'm somewhat familiar with events on the hippo campus. Watch where you step as they go where they like.

I haven't actually read any Douglas Adams, but soon I may have all the time I need.

I've not read that either but it's the sort of title you remember.

It's all about managing change through the medium of yoga, chanting and vegetables.

Getting sacked by a reiki teacher is a pretty cruel way of being made redundant

I actually think I'd be up for managing change in this way. Also if you have to be made redundant then it might be quite soothing if done by a reiki teacher- guess it depends on the pay out.

 

[danny la rouge]

Would you wear his face and stand in for him?

But I won’t do that.

 

[bimble]

probably led by my neighbours.

Your aura feels a bit green and you're chakras are way off balance. I just don't know if you're suitable for the challenges the organisation faces

A Green aura is just right according to this:

Sounds like a euphemism for dying

Many years ago had to do an event with a similar theme. It was going downhill rapidly when the guy went just one step to far. It ended very messily with fists thrown. The client who had paid for it was mortified and apologised to all of us attendees and threaten to sue the guy running the course if he sent an invoice.

more detail please.

We have similar things in my NHS trust......its all about how to work harder and better and communicate but only applies to middle managers and below, making it completely redundant.

I can't stand all that shitty "work smarter" bollox. It just means "Do the work of all the people we've made redundant, as well as your own, while we continue to pay you a pittance".

 

[what]

more detail please.

Its years ago so the detail is a bit vague. It was a bunch of people who work in construction, very macho industry at the time, lots of probing questions, and I think the straw was trying to get people to express something via a medium not normally associted with construction, could have been interprative dance, cant fully remember the detail

Oh I'd definitely do it - not doing it won't mean you get fucked over less, after all, and the folk giving the course have nothing to do with that, they just get hired to show how much company X cares about the people it's sacking. Plus it'll all be remote so if it's really bad you can just "oh no what's happened to my internet".

Their garden looks quite nice, maybe they'd adopt me as after Lenny transitions.

Sorry but this joke has already been made, by me. There will be other opportunities though.

 

[Shechemite]

That would just make me want to take drugs and break stuff. I guarantee it.

It’s all part of the process. Trust the process.

Alex’s practice seems to involve quite a lot of booze.

It's going to be by Zoom so I'd have to provide my own, which might not be such a bad idea.

 

[Puddy_Tat]

my first thought was this was going to be another thread arguing about the rights of trans people...

having read it, and looked at their website, i'm inclined to think

is someone in your HR department getting a back-hander from them by any chance?

 

[two sheds]

Do it. You'll transition into a butterfly

 

[krtek a houby]

This is an Agents of SHIELD reference, right?

Anyway, hated these kind of sessions, esp if there's any of the zany, new age or thinking outside of the box bollox involved.

 

[tommers]

My manager once made me stare into another person's eyes for a minute.

This is bollocks though.

 

[harpo]

Participate in the bollox but keep your fingers crossed behind your back.

 

[deeyo]

I've not read that either but it's the sort of title you remember.

It's good. not as good as 'the hitchhiker...' series, but reading it would be a far better use of your time than, for instance, taking a course in holistic transitioning.

 

[Badgers]

Does this include a module on cosmic ordering?

 

[maomao]

The money they waste on this shite they could have kept a couple more people on. At least when my boss let me go the whole phone call took less than five minutes.

Hope you get Kip. He says

"I also want to help others honour their bodies and express themselves freely through dance."

Take a photo of you looking earnest, stick that in front of the webcam and fuck off and do something else with your time.

Nope - not heard of that, just seems a logical progression from the thread title.

We had a presentation/motivational session a few years ago at the place I freelance for. I started heckling , I think I asked if they had any results of scientific trials.
