Operational Ammnesia

A managerial condition characterized by the sudden and selective loss of memory—especially when recalling past decisions, commitments, or facts might result in accountability, inconvenience, or admitting fault. Often triggered by audits, performance reviews, or someone else remembering too much.

Symptoms of Operational Ammnesia include phrases like “I don’t recall approving that”, “Was that in writing?”, and the classic “Let’s not dwell on the past.”
