EVMS Funnies: Rebaseline Randy Strikes Again!!! đš
đ Monday morning⊠Baseline Bob logs in, expecting a normal day. But something feels⊠off.
đ THE ENTIRE BASELINE HAS CHANGED. NO BCR. đ±
đšâđ» Baseline Bob (Shocked, sweating):
"Wait⊠where did all the variances go? Why do these numbers look different?!"
đšâđŒ Rebaseline Randy (Smugly, arms crossed):
"Oh, I just rebaselined everything over the weekend. It cleaned up the variances! Looks way better now, right?"
đ€Šââïž Baseline Bob (Absolutely losing it):
"YOU JUST ERASED OUR ENTIRE PERFORMANCE HISTORY! The auditors are going to have a FIELD DAY!"
â Variance Vince (Sipping coffee, unfazed):
"Relax, just tell them it was a âstrategic realignment'.â"
đ„ The office erupts into flames as a government auditor walks in.
đą EVMS Compliance in Action! đ„
