Wow, this again. I think it was OCP where the HR folks said you couldn't use "hard worker" in performance reviews for whatever stupid reason I forget. "Bias for Action" was the acceptable phrase.
It then became a contest amongst us managers.
"His hard bias for action works to make...."
"She works hard on improving her bias for action..."
"His action for work is biased in accomplishing hard tasks...."
etc. IIRC, the rule was that all four words had to appear in the same sentence. Also, every Group Leader had to have "it" at least once in their performance review. The more stilted the phrasing the better.
I do remember one of the other managers passing around a comic drawing of "Bias" running "for" the office of "Action." Vote Early and Vote Often.
Yeah, I had forgotten about that meeting we all had with Charlie. Another were he sat at his desk with his head in his hands.
