Wake Up and Smell the Kitty Litter.

As each day goes on, I become more convinced my workplace is turning into a Dilbert cartoon.

Scenario : A member of staff is leaving a unique job that requires skills found in another team within the building. Do you replace them with:-

A) A member of the other team who has years of experience; is looking for a move, and would love to do the job - would require minimal training to get into the job.

B) A new member of staff proficient in the language, but totally unfamiliar with the system, and will need a lot of spoon feeding.

Guess what the solution was, and the clue is, it wasn't A.

And I'm sure I heard purring coming from Human Resources...

My answer was going to be "C" - a temp with little or no experience in the language, and whose experience with the system was to successfully make it through "DoomMystQuakeRaider" in 6 hours with only one potty break and a case of Mountain Dew.

But that would have been silly.

That's not to say they didn't give it serious consideration...!!
