Picture This

This week, our work group got together to take a picture., A shot of, well,  our  group. The memo was sent from our Superintendent saying that this would be a moral shoot. A MORAL shoot? You can actually boost moral by taking a picture?

I thought how silly this must be. I am the eternal pessamist, you can not fix moral with a photo. It starts from the top with our Division  and trickles down from there. Maybe if the group had our financial budget stuff in order, if they actually made us think that they gave a crap, then maybe moral would improve.

Moral would improve with a few nice jobs, a couple of Attaboys and the like. Instead, we get incident letters and discipline letters and management  trying to hit the home run by firing some one. They forget about the progressive discipline and go straight to the ax. We always say no one is fired until it has been 2 years. Management seems to forget steps and the firings always seems to backfire.

Well, after the pictures were taken, everyone was talking at how lame this all was. What was our leader thinking? We all thought to ourselves, Will the pictures continue until moral improves?
