It’s So Hard To Get Good Help These Days

Apr 27th, 2007 by General Henz

It’s so hard to get good help these days.

We had a gut feel that there was great opportunity in the Anti-Wobbly space. So we hired a number of reallysmartconsultants to help survey the Anti-Wobbly industry and identify the greatest opportunity for us.

These reallysmartconsultants did an extensive analysis of the industry. The diagram below is the result of their study.

As with all good consultants they mostly told us what we already know.

It’s a bit hard to believe that we paid for this. Not only did we have to sit through a day with MBAs who walked us through vision and mission statements (and those tiny dry sandwiches that are cut into triangles with little colored toothpicks in them) but their conclusions leave us wanting for what to do next. But hey, I guess that’s what consultants do… they’re not really worried about execution.

They claim that the Cloud of Market Opportunity ^TM lies somewhere between ground and aerial systems. Hmm. Ok.

What does that mean? Perhaps we should introduce a high altitude ground system. Like on a mountain.

I asked them if the Cloud of Market Opportunity ^TMwas similar to a fog. I think I insulted them. Anyway, I’ve rented a fog machine for the weekend and plan on surrounding myself in a chalky Cloud of Market Opportunity ^TM.

Seriously, who are you guys and what are you trying to sell? I cannot tell if you sell remote heads, aerial systems, optical stabilization technologies, or simply hate anybody related to those technologies. I do not know if I should be offended or excited about whatever is going on. All I know is that too many of us have spent too much time talking about wobblies in the last few weeks.

Cloud of Market Opportunity? This sounds like the crap those so-called business experts that came around the set of Showgirls with all the comments about the script and stuff. I sent them a packing and I would send these consultants a packing too if they came my way. You guys seriously need to hire somebody that understands the industry if you want to get anywhere. Send me a PM if you are interested in my services. I’ll give you a cloud of market opportunity if that is what you are seeking.

Just wanted to say thanks for the shirt and poster. Where could I get a couple shirts of the others in our group?
