> What the 24th century would be like under  today's management techniques.
>
>  After the crew is told they are now Empowered,  Dr. Crusher begins doing
> medical experiments on unsuspecting enlisted personnel while Worf
>  slaughters everyone he considers 'weak'.
>
> Data fails an ISO9000 audit because the  construction of his positronic
> brain isn't  properly documented. He curses Dr. Suhn's record keeping as
> he's stripped for parts.
>
> All members of the ship's maintenance crew are required to be involved in
> Quality Circles. The  loss of productive work time causes them to cut
> back
> on scheduled repairs, resulting in a warp  core breach that kills
> everyone.
>
> Commander Riker is fired after a round of  'right sizing'. Star Fleet
> decided that it didn't really need someone to seduce alien females and
>  smirk a lot.
>
> As part of the new Dignity Enhancement program,  Piccard is forced to
> allow
> Troi to wear uniforms that cover her breasts.
>
> Star Fleet decides to adopt the Borg 'Team  Building' methods and requires
>
> all newborn babies to be implanted with computer interface devices.  As a
> bonus this cuts down on carpal tunnel  disability claims.
>
> The Enterprise finds that it can no longer  communicate with Star Fleet
> Command because  they're still running an old version of Windows and can't
>
> get budget approval for the upgrade.
>
> As part of a cycle time reduction plan, the crew is ordered to cut the
> time
> necessary to encounter and escape from new life forms from once a week  to
>
> 5 days a week.
>
> A re-use program is introduced  under the nickname RERUNS (Reap Earnings
> and  Royalties Using No-longer-produced Shows).
>
> Piccard is ordered to go to diversity sensitivity training after system
> logs indicate that he has  repeatedly disparaged the Ferengis, the Q, and
>  the Romulans.
>
> A ship-wide reorganization results in Worf  becoming the ship's
> counsellor,
> Dr. Crusher taking over the engine room, Deanna managing weapons, Data r
> unning sick bay and Geordi at  the helm. They were conquered by a Klingon
>  freighter 15 minutes later.
>
> The crew mutinies when they are given their  annual performance reviews
> and
> find that, despite saving the universe numerous times, they're still only
> getting 3% raises.
