Well, we all manage.

What do people mean when they say that they’ll manage? They mean that they don’t really know what they’re doing, but that they’ll blunder through somehow; that they’ll somehow escape from a situation unscathed, barely succeeding in the face of their own ignorance and general incompetence. Management isn’t about triumph – it’s about getting away with things.

So why not go on a management training course? Learn how to muddle by more effectively. Learn how to muddle through a wider variety of situations.

On a management training course, you’ll learn skills such as retaining positivity in the face of relentless bank holiday traffic. ‘How are we going to cope with this?’ someone will ask. ‘Oh, we’ll manage,’ you reply.

You’ll also learn about having only one car, where before you had two. You’ll learn to manage through the use of public transport, cadged lifts and insanely complicated plans involving depositing the car somewhere and the other person picking it up later on their way back from such and such a place.

Finally, you’ll learn how to take part in complex activities with entirely inappropriate equipment. You’ll surf with your glasses on. You’ll rock climb with your dad’s harness from the 1970s. You’ll camp with only a quarter of the tent pegs.

In short: you’ll manage.

Be aware that times are tough and if you are to succeed in this market you are going to have to shine above the rest.

Get to work early, do the best of your ability, stay punctual and keep your appearence smart to stay under the radar, whilst you are fitting in.

If you do this you should have nothing to worry about, anything that may result in bad news will most likely not be under your control and unfortently will just have to deal with, as at the momemt it seems to be a regular occurence.

With many companies enforcing stricter rules, the office environments are to suffer reducing the enjoyment of the jobs at hand.

With the job market being increasingly competitive news such as this only makes matters worse.

Companies such as KPMG managed to reduce workers days from 5 to 4 in the hope that this would avoid laying off staff. This was last winter. Today they are looking at reducing staff by 200.
