So I have had a day of 'objective setting ' with my team. Part of which involves creating a personal development plan ::)
I was checking our internet site as they have recently launched a new training program.

Who the hell comes up with this stuff ? noooo:

One of the first courses that was being advertised was ' Horizontal Career Progression ' noooo:
Is that some kind of euphemism for being shuffled sideways into a dead end job?
