People Department

The Personnel Department is renamed as the People Department. Fine tuning the management of a happy workforce. Brilliant move!

All part of the CX facade when it comes to people and leadership.

Some clown with a "management" degree or who recently got an MBA must have been promoted recently and is now putting their mark on things.

Make way for new business cards being printed for the department, letterheads, and signs.

Now which one of you Fuel Saving Heroes will still reduce FP fuel to Taipei???

I agree, the end of CX is nigh.

The company I used to work for regularly and continuously wasted what was probably the GDP of a small country on an army of useless parasitic wankonsultants to dream up name changes so that names of departments and products that previously made sense no longer did. I likened it to the Brits turning all the signposts round during the war to confuse the Germans if they invaded.

At one time, I didn't even know the official name of my department.

Standby for the company logo to be changed ever so slightly, at the cost of millions.

Reminds me of Abeles spending millions on adding a full stop after "Ansett".

I'm not kidding.

And we know how that ended up.

Laxative Department

I remember being told that in ancient times, Moses marketed a laxative called Let My People Go. Sounds as though there could be big changes in the wind!

And yet we are prohibited from doing Flap 25 autolands due to the cost involved in amending the manuals.

The People's NoChance-La-Try-Again-Tomorrow Department.
The People's Highly-Flammable-And-Dangerous-Goods-So-Better-Leave-It-To-Those-Freighter-Pilots Department.

Simple. Just shut down an engine at ToD and you can do F20 Autolands all day.
AND you'll save fuel. Everybody wins.
