over deliver, beyond expectation

[dmccarty]

Do More With Less.

Well, we have been doing more with less for years now, and we are doing less, because we ain't got no more to give....

I remember when we had to come up with those stupid phrases at work. Usually if companies have to come up with phrases like "exceeding expectations", it's because they really don't. Actions still speak louder than words.

Buckeye that is exactly what I am talking about. Hollow buzzwords that sound like superhuman effort is made. But the rubber of reality never hits the road.

Ephemeralization, a term coined by R. Buckminster Fuller, is the ability of technological advancement to do "more and more with less and less until eventually you can do everything with nothing".

Ephemeralization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Another good one is "Transparency and Accountability".

Red flags, for me.

Last week I got some burgers at a drive-thru, and I looked in the bag and didn't see any napkins, I asked the girl at the window if I could have some napkins...... She rolled her eyes and gave me the dirtiest look and shook her head like I was really bothering her!!!! I just couldn't believe the response for asking for something that should have been in there in the first place!!!!

Good Grief!:confused3:

You know when they exceed my expectations? When they show up when they say they will, deliver what was agreed on, and are courteous. All basic things, but common courtesy and treating others how you would want your mother treated are sure in short supply...

I think this is the issue - for whatever reason there has been a speedup in places of employment.
"Do more with less" translates into employees who can be hired for the least money (Box stores like Tractor Supply, Home Depot, Walmart staffing the stores with those without expertise). It means putting junk and low quality on the shelves for consumers to purchase.

It is cheaper for companies to put the money into ads than it is to put it into quality. So they do. They stand behind and advertise the "fashion of the product", not the product.
