In this story from Reuters yesterday, Sweden's tax office did a fast re-shuffle after ticking off its 11,000 employees. The office is reorganizing as the result of a study that shows the optimal group size is about 150 people. The problem here is that the studies cited for the reorg were based on primates!
"The office had intended to offer its employees a rationale for its decisions and had not realized the reference might upset them. The statement on Tuesday said it was unfortunate that the report had been portrayed by media in the way it had."
Right, it was all the media's fault.
I guess those clever CareerBuilder.com commercials with the one guy surrounded by a bunch of crazy monkeys weren't just commercials...
