A bright spark
We have a manager here who is supposed to be quite good. I had higher hopes than normal (although admittedly that's not too difficult) that he may actually kick some people back into reality (or failing that, kick them out of the company). But all my hopes have been dashed. He has recently sent an email out extolling the virtues of the rubbish office across the sea and far away (the one staffed with goodwill-sapping-morons). He is impressed because as he left the office at 8.30 PM a lot of people were still there!
2 things here:
a) obviously they were still in the office at 8.30PM if he was there. First rule of impressing someone with the power to make you redundant is never leave the office before they do.
b) these people are actually incapable of doing their job within normal working hours and therefore have to work late due to their gross incompetance.
3 years ago the task that these people do took 4 weeks. Now, at their request we have lots of checks and tools and wizzy scripts and suchlike to reduce the time it takes to do this task. It now takes 10 weeks.
I kid you not. TEN WEEKS!
Stop laughing, you wouldn't like it if it was your company.
