Be Nice to Management

In my sister's company, management is under a lot of pressure. To alleviate the problem, HR has sent out a message to all employees:

"In order to make working conditions acceptable to management, all employees are asked to prioritise positive reporting over real work. Ideally, you should not spend more than 40% of your time actually working. The rest should be spent making credible looking reports where problems, delays, lost accounts, heavy losses and so on are either not mentioned at all or phrased in such a way that they look like progress. With this in place, management will be able to sleep much better at night."
