I don't know how this happen, but it seems like corp America has been scraping the bottom of the bucket for anyone with half an IQ, willing to sit in a cubical all day, creating an appearance that work is actually being done... Don't believe the charade!!!

This is why my colleague and I came up with "NIMJD" - a.k.a NOT IN MY JOB DESCRIPTION -

According to NetLingo - The Internet Dictionary, NIMJD has traditionally been an acronym or text message used in online chat, IM, e-mail, blogs, newsgroups, postings, etc...

Our version of NIMJD is more of a verb, given to any action performed by a specific individual who chooses to:

- pass the buck every time (EVERYTIME!)
- not live up to the "title" listed on their email sig or business card.
- respond to your email request with "one liners" that not only do not answer the questions being asked, but also never make any sense...
- forward your request to another person to answer, when they could have easily found the answer themselves within about 30 seconds
- never respond to your request for assistance...

Example: "I asked for help with my TPS reports, but she NIMJD me, and told me to submit a trouble ticket."
