So. I never write about work because even though I love to complain about it I just don’t think it’s a good idea to advertise what may be perceived as my desire to not be paid. Really, I want my job - it’s not that bad - in fact there are many great things about it. Did I mention that I get paid?
But I’m sitting here on a conference call for which the agenda was not sent until 12pm for a 3pm call. As I don’t immediately open my email if I am working on a project or perhaps just not at my desk, I didn’t see the email until 10min before the call.
Lo and behold, there was something on the list that was directly related to what I do and gee, I didn’t know about it, didn’t have time to discuss comments with my boss. Since I don’t have the authority to tell people what to do anyway, I considered just not talking on the call. But I didn’t, I opened my big mouth. It didn’t really matter-they will do what they want or what their bosses want regardless of what information may be presented and what they may or may not know.
What a depressing post, but this website ..the Overheard in the Office may provide a nice outlet for posting about work related things. It’s indirect and everyone can enjoy.
