1-[email from Head of Department] I’d like to submit a comment about the corporate strategy document. It doesn’t make reference to my department
-[response from Deskjockey] There are few references to your department ‘cause your department didn’t submit a response.
-[HoD] When was the deadline?
-[DJ] Ten days ago.
-[HoD] When is the publication date?
-[DJ] Tomorrow at 9am.
-[HoD] Send me the proforma I’ll have it back by lunchtime.
Lunchtime arrives as does the completed proforma, all 12 pages. It reads
Task – There are no references to my department in the corporate plan. [Comment – DJ to research]
Outcome – Put more references to my department into the corporate plan [Comment – DJ to put some referneces (sic) in here]
Milestones – [Blank]
Budget – [Blank]
Target – By 2011, put more references in about things my department will be doing. [Comment – task DJ with this – are you okay with this?]
And this is why he’s paid five times more than me? :(
