A woman who is currently under a bit of pressure at work is to be excused of responsibility for a series of massive cock ups as she never knows what’s really going on where she works.
“It’s not her fault,” an aide to the woman told LCD Views, “she’s been promoted beyond her competency. Anyone can see that.
It actually occurred a promotion or two ago.
I blame her old manager. Blase. Disinterested in detail. He thought just because she’s a control freak she’ll do a lot of the heavy lifting for him.
We’ve all had managers like old Dave. Total prat. Breezes through life thanks to privilege. Lives in a villa overseas now. Easy life. No responsibility for the mess he left. That’s democracy for you.”
So it seems, you see, having an inherently suspicious and controlling nature, while it makes for a power hungry idiot convinced of their own righteousness, is no guarantee of ability?
”Oh, she’s plenty of ability all right. Well, relative to the old hippy that’s her main rival in the old business of politics.
He’s a bit of a gift.
Week after week she leaves an open goal for him to steal her plum clients and he kicks the ball into his own net.
And that’s inspite of packing it full defensively. He’s great at guarding a small deal with minor sales, can’t see the big prize though. Total national domination of the market if only he’d offer a genuinely different product.”
So what’s to be done with the individuals in question and the endless cock ups?
”Time and events I expect. And a hell of a lot of excuses. You can’t blame them. They took the wrong fork in the road long ago and never turned back. Early retirement, just like the old pig shagger.”
But shouldn’t they be relieved of their responsibilities before they do more harm?
”In a word, if you like, at the end of the day, yes. As fast as bloody possible. To be honest.”
How to do it?
”A vote of no confidence.”
When?
”As soon as possible. Get it done and ask questions after.”
