What is Tps Reports?
1.
We use them at work, Used to be called
Project Reports. I managed to get the
report retitled on the form as
Total Project Summary Report, now referred to as TPS reports, giggles from us, blank stares from them.
2.
Most commonly known to the average worker as a Totally Pointless Stuff Report, management views these as
Sending a list of completed goals to your management because they are too lazy to read a standard status report to get updates.
3.
Pointless busy-work assigned to you by your boss, often a list of completed goals.
Reffered to in the movie "Office Space", when Peter Gibbons's boss lectures him on the 'proper way to file TPS reports'.

I work for UPS in Carolina, we use these everyday. They summarize client management interaction with the tmh machines. We have to fax them off to the head office every hour, and if there is no cover sheet we get the tps stamp and stamp it on our adf. fyi - 2 years ago they found this guy in inventory dead > appartently a stack of tps reports collapsed on him trapping him for days. He tried to chew throough the reports, but the ink on the reports were toxic.
"did you hear about the guy that died from the tps reports."

This Place Sucks Report. The corporate america has been so bogged down with status reports that no work gets done because you spend all day giving your status to obnoxious product managers. Let them know how you feel in the next TPS Report.
Boss: Did you get that project done?
Me: Actually I haven't had time to start a new one.
Boss: Mmmm yeah, well send me a TPS Report with its status.
Me: This Place Sucks.
