That definition is very poorly expressed; it makes it sound like time-and-motion study. I'd skip that dictionary, in future.
Ergonomics is intrinsically about design, in that the tools you use (including desks, chairs, etc.) are adapted to be used with as little as possible wasted effort (i.e. inefficiency). That can only happen by design.

It's a melding of two words.
Ergo - greek-ish, and means Therefore
Economics - the money handling money making stuff.
So, Ergonomics is simply a short way of saying 'laissez faire economics'

You didn't break it down far enough. Ergonomics is actually the study of the plight of the married man.
Ergo - Late Middle-English/Latin : Therefore
Nom - Colloquial Low-English/American : To eat
Ics - Colloquial Neologism/Kyleism : Bad/Gross food (ICK!)
I am ergonomic; I'm married, therefore I eat gross food.

Hi All,
Big Winge time (it would Rant but it's not Thursday!) today is Cr*p, first I get my marching orders(?) after fixing things left right and centre (or center pedants) find an issue thats stopped the R&D dead in its tracks. Secondly it's too overcast to see the super moon. Thirdly I mangaged to block the toilet at my parents, it overflowed on the floor before I could get to the ballcock! I have since mangaged to clear it with a wire coat hanger wearing gloves...which leaked!
Please tell me I will wake up bathed in sweat in a few moments...Oh yeah thats odd ballcock ball c**k gets starred out ![Green Alien | [Alien]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/alien.gif) being an over anxious editor or Firefox?

Sometimes they just decide your face doesn't fit for no good reason - but at least you got a month or so worth of wages, which is massively better that the dole.

If they can't give you a good reason why you have to go, it's probably better that way. Forget them.

Good luck!

You did it good, you did your best... screw them. Their loss. You will get another job to love, but they won't get any other worker better than you.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I can't help but think those two are related and all they were after was someone to fix one particular issue; and now that they have it fixed, they can get rid of you.

Ya know I was thinking the same thing, the odd thing was the only person who made the decision was the boss, my immediate supervisor was "oh Damn, why?" I think it had something to do with the fact I have several training courses and an MIET membership which might have been used to get a grant, grant approved the need for me is gone... 
|
|
|
|
|
Is that grant revocable? Possibly worth getting in touch with the approving authority to let them know the conditions the grant was secured under no longer applies.

If they are continuing the process on the basis of incorrect information, it is your duty to rectify the situation. It's the "ethical" thing to do

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
