Popcorn is ready! thanks for calling a spade a spade here @Rich Diston. This is refreshing. So, all of these Orgs are pretty much full to the brim with Charlatans. I do wonder why certifications were created in the very first place...money grab? maintaining ones gravy trail?

@Michael Fontner thank you for the response. I suppose keeping it simple is probably the best approach. We unnecessarily complicate things with sophisticated frameworks, countless controls & acronyms, etc... As for the part about idiots, I was dealing with people in influential positions 😟 above my pay grade of course.

20 Rules for existing in corporate life
When I left academia and returned to the suit & tie brigade, I collated rules that I thought I could refer to in times of stress. A lot of them are common sense, a few of them are recycled from throwaway quips, and one or two are things to live by. I regulary trot these out to juniors in my team as a demonstration of how to become cynical and make it through the day when the C-s upstairs mess up the day 1. Be patient 2. Always work as a team. 3. If you dont get what you want, take it! figuratively (first) 4. When dealing with management, don't give them problems, give them solutions 5. It is better to seek forgiveness than ask permission 6. Anything that can be measured, can be delivered. 7. Dont stress! It's not like anyone died 8. The number of breaths in, must equal the number of breaths out - and increase the length of them breaths! 9. Trust no one, everybody lies - double check 10. Always carry a knife 11. If something looks too good to be true, it usually is. 12. When you are finished, walk away 13. Bend the line, dont break it 14. Your manager is not always the smartest person in the room 15. Never mess with my coffee if you expect me to help you 16. Find the biggest kid in the playground and either make friends with them or beat the shit out of them - figuratively (first) 17. Life is too short 18. Nothing gets fixed until it is truly broken 19. Sympathy sits inbetween shit and syphillis in the dictionary 20. Never let a good disaster go to waste

Thanks @Duncan Proffitt, great list! I've recently entered the corporate workforce having spent the last decade in the Military. I have issues/coming to terms with people not following basic instructions, demonstrating initiative, and using the term neurodiversity as a means to justify one's thoughts & actions.
