Club 30's "Kill the Boredom Demon" Jive Pad, 28th Edition

As long as he enjoys his work. How old is he? Perhaps to him, he just wants to prove that he is still useful. Or he is simply too "polite" to say no to your boss.
-
we figure he's an idiot..
he keeps saying that "it is not in his character to complain to the boss" and also "bo pian"
we suspect he's thinking that he wants to be seen as "indispensible" but hey.. he's causing a lot of problems as the bosses use him as a baseline where no one can even hope to achieve due to his stupidity -
classic case of spoil market.

colleague got a reply from a very dense and dim person from another agency..
they insist that we confirm something with them.. however, it is not our building so we cannot.. tell them to go to the owners of the building and negotiate with them... those idiots keep coming back and insisting we give them confirmation...
hell! we even gave put the owners of the building in the cc list of the email!!
oh well, i guess they are so dense there is increased gravity, so much so that light cannot escape their density... that's why they appear so dim

Morning folks!
-
aha.. pinkybear..
makan session tomorrow.. how about you go make the reservations? -
i see arrows flying around
-
I was actually a little like him before, until I finally learnt to say NO!!Originally posted by the Bear:very.. besides, it's a processing job
2 officers quit not that long ago and since he's there and doesn't complain, the bosses there just dumped all their work on him
looks like there is not going to be additional manpower there in the near future..
this idiot just takes on the extra work and keeps on going.. -
*me mysteriously appears in a puff of smoke*
Been doing a lot of manual metalwork today with a hacksaw.
6mm-thick aluminium can be a pain in the a** to cut.

reading a circular that is going around to the HRs of the various departments under the bigass entity..
the circular is for the various HRs to take action.. to "share resources" of manpower.. so that if my department has "skills" which the other department needs, like a dude who can read and write Swahili, the other department can write in and request the dude to go do a piece of work.. and we can do the same to the other departments
the circular and plan was authored by a Senior Duh-rector.. a few things i have observed..
ONE:
he has no idea that HRs have NO IDEA what's going on.. my department HR actually asked us what our job scope was! we were stunned and wrote back to them... and guess what? they copied and pasted the whole thing into a open posting! they had no idea at all!
TWO:
he has set in place so many layers that people will just say "ahhhh.. bugger it.. i'll go hire someone to do it"..
if i need a certain skill or work done, i will have to seek permission from my boss, who will need to get clearance from the director of the division, who will write to HR, who will get in touch with the other department's HR, who will ascertain if they have the people, make a shortlist, ask for volunteers after getting permission from the division directors, and the volunteers, if they want to do the extra work, will have to seek permission from the boss, and the requesting party will also have to seek permission... and after that, the requesting party will have to write a report of the volunteer's performance...
and that's just the start!
THREE:
who in their right mind would want to do extra work for people they don't know, in another department, for no extra pay, and with their own work piling up in their own department?
FOUR:
he expects all this to be communicated in an IT system which is buggy, unwieldy, prone to crashes and loses data on a regular basis? just shows how much he uses that system.
finally... it's full of basic grammatical mistakes -
Hmm... is Catbert the HR director in your company?

At my workplace we'd just ask, around, make a few phone calls, if we can find someone, then management will talk to each other to secure the person's assistance. No need to go through all this red tape leh. -
volunteers
doesn't he mean shoot arrows? -
that's what we do within our own department..
they are thinking of doing this over different agencies...
which boss is going to let their people go to another agency to do other people's work while their own work piles up?Originally posted by av98m:
