Ok, so.... I know everybody deals with stupidity from their superiors at work, especially in corporate environments. Does anybody else have issues with their bosses issuing ultimatums that are guaranteed to result in firing the vast majority of their workforce? This is like the 3rd or 4th time this has happened, but it seems more serious this time.
In a 6 month period, I process around 4,000 entries. Everyone was just informed today of a new Quality Improvement Program (QIP), whereby the entire operation is expected to reduce error ratios regarding three very broad categories of errors. If we make 5 total errors in a 6 month period among these categories, we get fired.
This is going to be judged according to the auditing department, which has always been regarded as a big fucking joke. They internally disagree or flip flop on issues constantly, and it's people in my position who soak up the (usually meaningless) audits as a result because it's literally impossible not to complete certain types of entries without getting audited. They're also known for ignoring disputes with impunity, leaving us with absolutely no recourse. Up until now, this only effects scores on our yearly performance review, where it doesn't do too much damage. Now it happens 5 times in a 6 month period, and we're fired.
They tried to implement almost this exact thing before, except it was an initiative by our senior manager that would have only effected our single office. Everybody laughed it off when it was announced, and we never heard about it again. This time it's a company-wide initiative handed down by executives, with a clearer set of rules and a big official acronym.
So... I have 3 months to find another job?
