They are implementing all these new procedures that add multiple steps to already long processes. And pitting departments against each other with these processes. It amazes me the things they have done in the past 2 years. I feel that a company that was around 100 years when I started 14 years ago, won't be around 86 more. OK I rambled, and I don't know that I answered the question, well yes all the changes were due to bureaucracy at my place of employment.Remnants of Uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17640908599069314472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18002888.post-1152719069389267712006-07-12T11:44:00.000-04:002006-07-12T11:44:00.000-04:00I hear you chele.Having rules for the sake of havi...I hear you chele.<BR/><BR/>Having rules for the sake of having them is the definition of "unproductive."<BR/><BR/>One of my beefs is with folks who love to come up with and enforce rules, but who refuse to follow any rules, themselves.<BR/><BR/>Hypocrisy is near the very top of my list of pet peeves.<BR/><BR/>I've worked with a manager who, immediately and openly declares that she is not going to comply with whatever policies are handed down... as long as they don't come from *certain* folks, anyway.<BR/><BR/>I guess that's yet another peeve - people who speak their minds (often to the point of obnoxiousness) until or unless their bosses are around.Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06305755944694741335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18002888.post-1152717664614331272006-07-12T11:21:00.000-04:002006-07-12T11:21:00.000-04:00I hear what you're saying.

Hell, I'm part of the administrative structure.<BR/><BR/>My problem is with the folks whose only purpose is to come up with said processes. These folks are so intent on proving that they are necessary that they (sometimes) try to implement some old BS that is just a waste of time and energy.<BR/><BR/>If I can achieve the necessary result in three steps why should I insert the five extra steps? Because it's company policy? I'm not buying it. The policy is flawed and needs to be reviewed and then changed.chelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15468273174800571759noreply@blogger.com
