Does anyone see the irony in this? M calls me from her company retreat and says my authority and presence is needed in a failing office. I need to go there to find out what the problem is. We all really know what the problem is; failing market, wrong manager and wrong staff. But hey, who am I to argue. My presence is needed as I am an Associate Director and will be seen to be someone who can tell people what to do. Suddenly my spurious title is important. Suddenly my role is important. Um?
D turned up in the office yesterday, with a piece of paper that had been doing the rounds (i.e. no one taking responsibility). Gave it to me and asked me to sort it out with a deadline of Monday or else the company would be fined. I'm not working for the rest of the week. Um?
