Things are really coming to a head here… or maybe after eight years, I’d just like them to be in the hopes that some house-cleaning would result. Last week I noticed that the two jokers who should’ve been fired after giving a PowerPoint presentation with a revenue chart that looked like a path up Mt. Everest days before being outbid on a contract that comprised 90% of our business, their current titles are, respectively, “Director of Field Service” and “Director of Field Service Operations.” Their sole supervisor, the newly-hired “VP of Field Services Group” (a position that just had to be filled when the last one took over as CEO, a mumbling anti-labor ex-Marine who himself should’ve stepped down after this shameful start to his reign), also brought on a former coworker to assist him as a “Senior Systems Analyst/ Implementation Manager”, and in an absurd — Amit’s description, not mine — example of his improvements upon our processes, he manually keyed in hundreds of customer addresses because they came delimited by a slash instead of in separate fields. That the department as a whole still has an almost a 1:1 management ratio indicates people going nowhere, too many of them, or both, and comes as no surprise.
