The best management consulting scam I've seen to date was this thing called the Fish Philosophy, which basically told management that they were all "Awesome, yeah!" and that if the employees weren't deliriously happy no matter what, it was the employees fault that they weren't happy, and they better start getting happy or the pink slip cannon should start targeting those troublemakers. One bad apple right?

I've been in IT going on 40 years, and I've discovered it's often the 'bad apples' who have the best ideas and insights.

Conformity may bring a sullen peace to the workplace, but non-conformists often bring progress.
