from Craigslist:

> [@](#):
>
> **CENSORED** Software, a leader in RFID-based workforce tracking solutions for the construction industry, is looking for a project coordinator to help design and build an innovative people counting system to compliment **CENSORED** ’s existing product. System could utilize image recognition, heat sensing or infrared beam technology - or it could utilize a technology we haven’t thought of yet. Must be able to integrate thinking with Windows and Web based application developers but programming is not necessarily required.
> 
> Could be a great internship for a local engineering or technology student at a local college.
> 
> Project engagement expected to last 90-120 days.

On one level, this _leader_ in writing ludicrously sounding project plans is probably not a good stock pick of a company. Maybe more of a cartoon fodder for Scott Adams.

But on another level, I for one, welcome the incompetence amongst the wannabe New Workplace Order promoters.

Why do I see a “local engineering or technology student at a local college” standing at an entrance holding one of those counter thingys and clicking as people walk by?

oops, wrong thread title. It is workforce _tracking_, not _training_ leader, as per the quoted text. Anyway, I wish them all the worst in their endeavors in their chosen field of activity.
