Joke Management

Share definition
The science of organizing joke-related goals and objectives effectively and efficiently. The science in and of itself has many sub-disciplines; however, only certified Joke Chairs or a highly-ranked Joke Lord is adept in all forms of Joke Management.
After completing high school, both Kyle and Robert were nationally-ranked Joke Chairs, making them the youngest individuals to receive PhDs in Joke Management.

Failure Management

Share definition
Failure management encompasses a comprehensive set of practices aimed at addressing and mitigating issues or faults in systems, products, or processes. It begins with the detection of failures, whether through sensors, monitoring systems, or human observation, followed by a diagnostic phase to understand the underlying causes. Once identified, strategies are deployed to reduce the impact of the failure, which can involve immediate fixes or the implementation of redundancy measures. Furthermore, failure management emphasizes learning from failures to prevent their recurrence through improvements in design, processes, or training. Proper documentation and risk assessment play vital roles in this process, ensuring that organizations can effectively respond to and learn from failures to enhance reliability and safety.
Failure management involves the systematic identification and diagnosis of faults or issues in systems.

It is followed by the implementation of effective mitigation strategies to minimize their impact.

Proper documentation and risk assessment are integral components of failure management, aiding in the development of strategies to prevent future failures and maintain the integrity of systems and processes.

Copper wire management

Share definition
Management style focusing solely on relaying information and instruction from the ownership level to the staff level and vice versa. A Copper wire is simply a conductor which transfers energy from one end to the other, it does not generate a spark on its own. As such appropriately named, this management style does not initiate any process, legitimate or perceived, it takes no responsibility for outcomes by routinely holding the other end of the copper wire responsible when one end has raised any issue.
I just got a crap load of work piled on me by my manager and I complained to him.... but all he said was don't blame me I only relay information from the top.

He's pulling some major copper wire management tactics on you!!!

Management

Telling employees that they really are not understaffed by using "numbers" when we all know that numbers can tell whatever story you wish to tell, truth and fallacy. Directing you to the REAL definition of "Management" which Merriam Webster does not agree.
Management: We crunched the numbers and you really don't need that many staff--how can you disagree with the numbers? Just because we had 6 people before, had added .5, and now have just doesn't mean you need that many!

The management of projects. Typically, this is all about figuring out what's needed, working out how to satisfy that need, costing it out, doing the job and delivering the product/service or whatever.

Some say it's science, some say an art. Whatever. It keeps a lot of pencil-necks in jobs and forms the bedrock of capitalist growth through cost, time and quality controlled efforts.

If you want an example of good project management, take 5 to figure out how they built a pyramid in ancient Egypt.
Getting a shag out of Estelle requires more project management than I can conjure up. You'd need a Harvard MBA to figure out a route into her box.

crisis management

Share definition
Management by crisis is a phrase used to describe the common problem of allowing unexpected events, interruptions, problems, or emergencies to dictate your priorities and actions.

Successfully diffusing a crisis requires an understanding of how to handle a crisis – before it occurs.
To eliminate the worst practice of management by crisis you need to take two important steps. First, you must distinguish between a real crisis, which is something important that requires your immediate attention, and other lesser problems, events, or interruptions that do not qualify as a true crisis. Hence the word Crisis Management.

Waste Management

Share definition
When you fuck a bitch next to a dumpster and then tip her in when you're finished with her.
Man 1: So did you ever hook up with that dirty street bag you met last weekend?

Man 2: Yeah, I took care of some waste management last night.

Woman 1: How was your date with that hot guy you met last wee-...damn, what's that stench? And why do you have egg noodles and used tampons in your hair?!

Woman 2: Well, we had some drinks and then he fucked me in the alley and threw me in the dumpster - fucking douche! He said his "needs were satisfied!"
