Chicago, IL – An anonymous spokesperson for Cisco Systems, an industry leader in networking equipment, indicated today that the company has plans to release a new Blame Router(TM) to the public by mid-2003. The hardware will supplant older, offline blame-shifting processes, increasing organizational efficiency by up to 50% and freeing up former blame-shifting personnel to take on tasks more appropriate to their organizations’ core competencies.
“Load Balancing in the Blame-Shifting world is critical,” said the spokesperson. “We want to take this a step beyond the standard corporate fail-over system, to allow a broader and healthier distribution of blame.”
The accompanying product, RetributionHub (TM), is still in development.
One thing not mentioned in the press clipping is the training involved to run the new routers.
IT personnel will be required to participate in special Blamestorming Sessions and create several important-looking Mind-Crap charts.
They must be beta testing this at your office, right?
