Don't let the bastards...

September 29, 2004 | Category:



I guess "Mr. Anonymous" may have had a point, because tonight I have morphed into SuperBitch, the Boss From Hell (*echo* Hell... hell... hell! *echo*)

But, *REALLY*, does this team actually have to be reminded that out here in the real world, quality counts?! .... Please, take notes:

1) This isn't high school. Do not send me an email saying you will get your stuff to me tomorrow. TOMORROW IS THE REVIEW. You are going to look like an idiot for not having your quarterlies done. I am going to look like an idiot for employing you. Let's remember we're at the Big Boys’ table, shall we?

2) "Et Al" is NOT a person. One does NOT address emails to "Et al - ". There needs to be, at the very least, a precedent. Real people read these things.

3) For the love of Mike, CHECK your formulas. An Excel SUM of a column should not include the date. Do you know how ridiculous you look reporting implementation of 2010 MORE items than you have in your plan?

4) It's called a spell check.

5) Cutesy signature quotes should NEVER include any of the following: Any Simpson family member, Ayn Rand, Hitler, Jesus, Marilyn Monroe, Spock... - wait. No. Let's do it this way. If you MUST, then here are your choices: Einstein, Steven Jobs, or Abraham Lincoln. Sorry, but you're on quote restriction until you've proven you understand the difference between your JOB and your startrek.alt newsgroup.

OK. That's all for now. Go on, get back to work.

Thank you for enforcing some quality control! I used to hate it when people came to work for me and said "My last boss let me do it that way (wah wah wah)". I run a tight ship, baby!

P.S. I think the corporate bitch stereotype is so passe.

The last line made me laugh out loud at my desk. Well, at least snicker. Thanks for the snicker. startrek.alt.newsgroup. Still snickering.
