Was talking about setting your "goals" and was thinking what I'd want
Decent Pay Rise
Applicable Training
Meaningful job / role growth
But then realised I wasn't thinking corporate think so be
NO Pay Rise
NO Applicable Training
NO Meaningful job / role growth
So If I get any - result, else I get a 1 for exceeding on all my targets
Who would have thought DXC were using NMA lyrics as a 'plan' -assuming there is a plan

"On, on, on, cried the leaders at the back
We went galloping down the blackened hills
And into the gaping trap
The bridges are burnt behind us and there's waiting guns ahead
Into the valley of death rode the brave hundreds
We called for some assistance from the friends that we had known
But this is the 1980s and we were on our own
We never felt like heroes or martyrs to a cause
Just battle-weary soldiers in a bloody civil war
The massacre now is over and the order new enshrined
While a quarter of the nation are abandoned far behind
Their leaders offer the cliché words, so righteous in defeat
But no one needs morality when there isn't enough to eat
The unity bond is broken and the loyalty songs are fake"
The actual "rule" is apply 2 weeks before the 2 weeks you need to travel - there are up to 6 levels of approval account manager staff manager then a long level of managers up to L2, but normally their PA. so plan well ahead!
The cost / effort of the process must be staggering, I had one picked up my train ticket and he'd gone off to investigate and said I could save £5 a week by using local trains rather than Virgin - which would only add an extra hour each way a day to my travel - well wouldn't I wouldn't have gone - so then had to write a "memo" to justify the cost, the discussion must have cost more.
I assume the 8 hours training will include the mandatory ethics and corporate stuff - which you need a shower after doing.
