Office reorganisation

[Magaret]

A sadistic and senseless activity carried out by [departmental] managers to reassert their power over underlings when their previous cynical management strategies such as teamwork, motivation and front line empowerment have accidentally worked more effectively than could have ever been predicted. [Office reorganisation] involves creating a fictional reason for getting employees to throw out all their previous years work, breaking up close [collegial] relationships and generally restoring a feeling of fear and intimidation which result in the employee realising once again who is in charge.
