We're getting too close to major client events...late this week. Given six weeks of dedicated preparation, I could be ready for them. With an entirely different staff, I could have been ready months ago. I'm not the sort of boss you'd like...I don't lavish praise on people simply because they show up for work at least 75% of the time. I have rather high expectations...get the fucking job done!
I interviewed someone today who expressed annoyance at all the paperwork she was expected to complete. BANG! There she went, off the 'possibles' chart. I want to turn back the clock a few years, when people who applied for jobs actually hoped they'd get them. I'm turning into such an obnoxous geezer! I'm all for mechanizing jobs whenever possible...buy a piece of software or equipment and forget all the personal bullshit that employees bring to the table. For that matter, mechanize my job...I'd happily check back every 90 days to see that I'm performing up to expectations.
We should all dejobify...first, eliminate our own staff members...then, eliminate our own jobs. We just have to prepare one another for unemployment...and somebody has to cover the costs, I guess.
