This landed on my colleague’s desk this morning. It is a real question, asked by a real grown-up working for an IT magazine. The person responding works for my company’s idiot IT department.
Q: Describe your service culture in terms of a fruit or vegetable.
A: A Nice ripe Peach. Lovely to look at and very pleasant on first contact. Satisfies both hunger and thirst (represents technical and personable aspects of the service.) Plenty of substance with a hard inner core representing very strong customer focussed values, clear processes and defined methodology. And once eaten the core remains and could be used to grow, showing self-help for the customer.
Firstly, who asks that question? Excluding eight year-olds, who does that? Where do they live? Name names.
And Holy God. The answer is literally incredible. Not even the most degenerate mind could possibly say that hunger and thirst really represent the technical and personable aspects of an information technology service.
Verdict: death by zombie rape. No, wait, that's not enough. Living out the rest of their lives discussing the business benefits of Microsoft Project is perhaps punishment enough.
