Re: Workplace Gripes – Vent Here! ! (or just share workplace stories)
Great thread...
yesterday I had a fantastic meeting
background: I work as a consultant for a few divisions of North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). This particular group works with 14 countries including the US. Working with diplomat representatives from many countries has added to an already bottled down over management/red tape mess....
Yesterday afternoon...
I had a meeting where I made a completely solid proposal for integrating a complex process (long story) within this NATO division... this integrating solution would save tens of thousands of dollars a year and service outputs would go up substantially.
Well these people pretty much turned it down without actually saying no.
They want to stick with the current ridiculously old way of doing it, and modify it slightly. The modifications they suggested would actually increase the already high costs now and increase operation time. Seriously, typing just this now makes me want to bash in computer.
ok, time to take a bath with a toaster
