Lies, half-truths and insinuations. 2/16/2005
And so we had the meeting. Apparently it was, like I said in an earlier post, a case of chinese whispers. The general concensus was that we would let it lie, and not make waves. The company which employs me is very much the poor relations in comparison with the company I am on secondment to. So we cannot shout too much, lest we get slapped on the back of the head for our efforts. I just wish that they would recognise that what we have in the people in our company is a collection of experience and resources that does not exist anywhere else in a group of companies employing well over 11,000 people. We can take the entire range of work in our facility, and not make a total and utter cock-up of it like the current project.
On other related fronts, my e-mail barfed. After I tried sending out an e-mail on behalf of someone else, with an attachment. There are times when I long for the days of DOS prompts and programs that ran on a single 360K five and a quarter inch floppy.
