tps reports

Pointless busy-work assigned to you by your boss, often a list of completed goals.

Reffered to in the movie "Office Space", when Peter Gibbons's boss lectures him on the 'proper way to file TPS reports'.

tps reports

The shit your boss makes you do.

BOSS: "Mya, Did you get the memo? We're now using the new cover on all TPS Reports. If you could just do that, that would be great. Thanks."

tps reports

Transaction Processing Schedules >
I work for UPS in Carolina, we use these everyday. They summarize client management interaction with the tmh machines. We have to fax them off to the head office every hour, and if there is no cover sheet we get the tps stamp and stamp it on our adf. fyi - 2 years ago they found this guy in inventory dead > appartently a stack of tps reports collapsed on him trapping him for days. He tried to chew throough the reports, but the ink on the reports were toxic.

"did you hear about the guy that died from the tps reports."

tps reports

Timeslot Propagation Statistics (TPS) reports - how you account to your boss for what you've been doing all day.

For lawyers it is the same as so-called "billable hours".

TPS Reports

This Place Sucks Report. The corporate america has been so bogged down with status reports that no work gets done because you spend all day giving your status to obnoxious product managers. Let them know how you feel in the next TPS Report.

Boss: Did you get that project done?
Me: Actually I haven't had time to start a new one.
Boss: Mmmm yeah, well send me a TPS Report with its status.
Me: This Place Sucks.

tps reports

A report, usually printed on soft, pliable paper. 'tps' is an acronym for Toilet Paper Substitute. Submitting a tps report without the requisite cover page is tantamount to leaving the toilet seat up after taking a leak. Both events usher a series of comments by superiors and peers alike.

"Could you pass some of your tps report under the stall wall, I'm fresh out"

TPS Reports

What your evil "OOOOOhhh Kay...Yeah" boss runs around and tells you to do. Your boss' name MAY be "Lumbergh" but not necessarily. Be sure to file these in the proper folders, or they will NOT be accepted.

Lumbergh: "Ummm...Yeah, Peter, I really need you to turn in those TPS reports..."
