Bus Def of the Week: Corporate Perjury

Spell it any way you like, it's a lie. For the nerdy whimps in the group, we'll say intentional inaccuracy. It all starts with good old fashioned accountability. A task goes out to the managers. It requires they reply that it is complete by a specific date. There are some specific documents to explain what to do. They reply by the due date with some prodding from their bosses. Victory! They are 100% complete! Now, the detail audits. Looks good on the surface, then documents are missing, the checklist was not followed and no one knows why. A follow up audit is scheduled and managers are strongly encouraged to follow direction and be accurate in their reporting. Thank you to the businesses that document and terminate for this crap. Shame on the rest of you. There is no excuse for corporate perjury. Do what it takes to be right and on time. If it can't get done, own it and have a plan. Try some managerial courage, folks! If this H R ran the company, the pejury would be defined as document falsification and some purgery would occur. Now you know the meaning of corporate perjury.
