Dorks

Post by Puppetmaster »

How do you go about getting a job in the RM dept that dreams up stupid names for Equipment and staff,ie Planners=Disaster to a Office .

DORKS .having worked in logistics for private companies these items are refered to by all as cages and used by all supply chains and called cages except RM.

Must be a dept of Ministry of silly walks!!

Cant wait for other exiting ideas like leaving packets with neighbours,clever person who thought that up!

I heard they are called Yorks because they are named after the first office they were trialled at...York.
