I used to have a lot of difficulties gathering information for reporting purposes, because whatever systems I put in place for updating were never religiously followed, and certain people didn’t care, because after all, they were not the one facing the bosses. To them, these procedures were just time wasting exercises, and many were the grumbles and flat out refusals when I pressed them to abide by them.
So often, I had to scramble around and use all my ingenuity to get as much information as I could and make up convincing numbers. I kept myself sane thinking “Wait till it is your turn” thoughts.
Happy am I that it is no longer part of my scope to worry about this.
Last Wednesday morning, I had the fun of standing by and watching these other people who didn’t care, scramble around to get the proper numbers for reporting, after not keeping up the updating of the system for months. In the end, they had to tell the boss that they couldn’t get the information, as if the boss cared. The expected reply “I don’t care how you do it, you get me the numbers.” They are still scrambling.
I love it when karma works in my favour.
