poor colleague of mine..
kena tormented by lunatic boss...
there is this working group which is being dissolved and given
over to XYZ organisation because the project has outlived its
purpose and morphed into something better and leaner which is best
done alone by XYZ..
the guy is tasked to write a note to my Dy Dir (who already
knows) by the mad boss... so he does it.. and sends it to my boss
for comments..
the boss insists we "double check" if XYZ will revert to the old
practice of getting a huge clusterfuck of organisations in..
the guy came to ask me how to deal with this.. because the
reason why the group is being dissolved is so that the
clusterfucking won't happen ever again.. and my boss is asking them
after they dissolve the working group, will they continue with the
clusterfuck?
i told him that's the way the boss works.. and to risk the
derision of everyone and spread out the derision by adding onto the
email of the insane boss the question to XYZ...
this is like...
"I can't go to our usual meeting anymore, I'm moving to
Europe."
"Can I confirm that you're not coming to the
meeting?"
