This explains the prevalence, and persistence, of crappy [[reg tech]], much of which violates the [[JC]]’s [[seventh law of worker entropy|''seventh'' law of worker entropy]], in that it doesn’t work, or in any case makes the world a less edifying place than it already was — at least, for everyone bar the [[middle manager]] who implemented it. That canny fellow can then use it to bolster the improbably claim on her [[LinkedIn]] profile of a “[[proven track record]] in [[change management]]”. | This explains the prevalence, and persistence, of crappy [[reg tech]], much of which violates the [[JC]]’s [[seventh law of worker entropy|''seventh'' law of worker entropy]], in that it doesn’t work, or in any case makes the world a less edifying place than it already was — at least, for everyone bar the [[middle manager]] who implemented it.
