Clown Factory

a crowded place so chock full of morons doing stupid things that they must be manufacturing them in a back room; thus, a factory. an organization housing so many idiots, it almost seems intentional.

c) a place where the biggest clowns (management), create a circus like environment where incompetance and stupidity reins supreme and filters down into lower management ranks. the entry level workers are left confused, as they still possess common sense, and do not speak “clownese”. the clowns constantly try to fix that which is not broken in order to justify their jobs, thus turning a happy well-functioning work environment into sh-t. anyone with a brain is laid off or fired, and the management clowns start creating yes-man clones of themselves in the back room, thus a “clown factory”.
