Truly stupid people and how to cope with them

[suityou01]

Today has been the culmination of truly stupid people and their overall stupidness.

I am 300% resourced at the moment, and each deliverable has the same delivery date. So the priority call changes hourly.

Last Friday I was 100% resourced to one deliverable and I set up all my workshops, meeting invites etc and now I have been reassigned again, with no replacement.

To ease this we are in the process of hiring a BA. Every candidate seems to find a way to louse up the interview.

SY03 needs a dyslexia test, and the dyslexia charity only test from age 7. He is 6.5 and there is a 6 month waiting list, but they won't put him on it until he is 7. Feckin eejits.

So intelligent folk of CUK I turn here for solace in the bosom of my degree educated virtual buddies.

There are times at work when throwing your toys out of the pram is a good idea.

This is one of them, its not just impacting you but everyone else who potentially rearranged their schedule for the workshops and is very unprofessional.

PS. What does this mean?

I am 300% resourced at the moment

Do you mean you need another 2 x as much resource?

The Japs have a good solution to this, have wicker effigies of the bosses in the canteen with baseball bats nearby so you can take out your frustrations when things go tulip

Are you sure he's really dyslexic and not just a bit stoopid... the fruit seldom falls far from the tree etc

I would never chuck the toys out, but I firmly put my views across and indicated the impact, loss of reputation of the various projects etc.

I was deemed to be being overly negative.

So I let stuff fall over. I warned the customers this would happen and I felt awful but was in an impossible situation. This is true, I do feel awful about this, but sometimes when explaining fails, you have to just let a few plates smash to hammer the point home.

is it just me who read the title and thought "that is not a nice thing to say just before you go home for the weekend" ?
