For both staff and students, it was probably the most productive, enjoyable time we had there in four years. Mutual co-operation came easily without as much ego bullshit and office politics. The manager didn't show up much (based elsewhere) because the resident ass-kisser wasn't available. When both returned to the scene, they behaved like the 'crisis months' were in need of repair. They just lowered the tone, and actually ended up reversing some of the 'progress' we made. Didn't help that I'd got used to not taking orders by then (too many cop movies on my part, maybe). You only need a month or so to 'know the drill' of a given place (if it's not brain surgery or nuclear physics that is). Management can be so much dead weight (especially if you sneak a peek at their damn payslips!).David K Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10756535951359716522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31416501.post-74575152443812397492011-05-01T13:57:33.703-07:002011-05-01T13:57:33.703-07:00Concur with Alex and the above.
And coincidentall...Concur with Alex and the above.<br /><br />And coincidentally, this reminds me of something me & my wife was talking about recently. She worked at a hospital in Chicago a few year ago. When the economy started to crater, the hospital sacked 500 people in a single day. Somehow, they'd actually figured out that the way to best trim the budget was to mostly clear out a lot of overpaid managerial types, one of whom was the supervisor of the clinic where my wife worked. Looking back, she said, "Nothing changed, really. We all showed up for work that day and we did our jobs as usual. If anything, we found that it was suddenly much easier to do our jobs, and to do them more effectively."Greyhooshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14161781141733273715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31416501.post-6412366047839382292011-05-01T11:42:57.746-07:002011-05-01T11:42:57.746-07:00It's 7.30 pm here - and I only woke up three h...It's 7.30 pm here - and I only woke up three hours ago!
