Star Trek with Dilbert Management
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 running sick bay and Geordi at the helm. They
were conquered by a Klingon freighter 5 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.
