Man. Work, huh? AMIRIGHT

[Lizard]

I just need somewhere moderately Hey Nonny Mouse to rant for a bit.

I think I could seriously justify a full-time job just quietly advising my colleagues how not to be completely fucking useless.

One example of several from today - I got an email from a senior manager type:

SMT: "Um, it's cool if we do X right? Under those Very Important Regulations That If We Break Could Sink The Whole Ship?" I'm sure its cool because Smart But Very Junior Spod reckons it sounds OK."

Me: *Googles for like 5 seconds to confirm knowledge"

Me: "Dear SMT, Please never, ever do X because not only is it contrary to the regulations, X is in fact A SPECIFIC WARNING EXAMPLE OF A BREACH USED IN THE PLAIN ENGLISH GUIDANCE PUBLISHED BY THE REGULATOR who holds our very lives in their hands."

SMT: "Oh. K, thnx, bye."

*5 milliseconds pass*

SMT: "PS: Um, can we have a meeting next week to discuss remediating our currently Pro Doing X Compliance Documentation?"

Sounds like expected occupational hazard, like falling debris or power cuts.
SMT desperate to become SM (which means there's every chance) willing to try anything for quick headlines..success will be all his/her doing, failure will be the fault of the other useless oiks..
