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!

project management

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.

managering

When a manager specializes in being managerial instead of actually managing their people and fixing the issue at hand, similar to micromanaging, but done in such a way as to make themselves look like a great manager

Davey was managering us when all of the servers went down. He made sure that all actions and thoughts were his and that his people had no room to think.

crisis management

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.

Fluff Manager

The guy in charge of all the fluffing (sucking a male talent in preparation for an adult film scene). It is the fluff manager's responsibility to make sure that there are enough fluffers for one film shoot and/or multiple film shoots. The fluff manager may ask the fluffers to fluff himself, making him a bad fluff manager or BFM. It is rumored that Kenny G. used to be a fluff manager but this is a common mistake. Sucking on the end of a cock-shaped brass tube doesn't make you a fluff anything, it just makes you look gay unless you are the sax player from The Lost Boys.

When the fluffers didn't show up for the film shoot, the fluff manager had to suck all the male talent to keep them hard. When the tardy fluffers showed up at the end of the scene and were scolded by a very tired mouth.
