Sometimes, you get a gem of managerial incompetency that comes from desperation, immaturity and inexperience. Unfortunately, I happened to be the recipient of one of these rarity.
Dear team
I am disturbed to learn of the liberties that some of you are taking with regards leave and off days.
In the first place, off days are only to be taken on their own and not combined with other off days, and most certainly not to be combined with annual leave. I know that this was not communicated to you clearly and so it will come into effect next year.
Also, off days must be claimed within one month of accrual, and also, half days can only be taken in the mornings.I very generously decided to give you 2 days off over Christmas, only to find that some of you have taken unfair advantage and combined that with annual leave. If I had known that some of you were intending to take time off I would not have given you those days off.
I also am surprised that so many from one department are on leave at the same time. This is never practiced in case an urgent job comes up (as with MYCS). The first person to apply should have the first right. This must be observed in future.
There was also an email sent out some weeks ago informing all staff of a Christmas party, attendance of which is COMPULSORY. As I understand it, all but one of our team are attending, and even those on leave are coming, so I must insist that everyone is there.
On a more urgent note, next year looks dire with everyone slashing budgets. We need every job we can get and we are lucky to have been invited by 3 companies separately to participate. We need to do our utmost to secure this job, therefore I am canceling all leave next week so that everyone can work on this.
The only way I can reverse my decision, is if all of you can discuss how this can be done to our best abilities and submitted to the PR company by the evening of the 23rd. If even one of us must come back to complete the job on the 24th or 26th, then all of us come back. I don’t think the PR team are going on leave next week, do you?
Let’s work to do a great presentation next week and we will postpone the day off to Jan 2nd.
I hope I can have your understanding and support on this, and we will meet tomorrow morning at 1030 to discuss this. I will need xxx, xxx, xxx, xxx and xxx at this meeting, but if more people are required to work on this, the project leader should ask them to attend.
Cheers
D*ck
For once, I totally understand why one would call himself that. And yes, the video has nothing to do with it. It is up there merely by coincidence.
Just for the heck of it. Here’s Jizz in my Pants.
