Guest Submission – 4/17/09
April 17th, 2009
Always thankful to get submissions from our readers. Here’s a number of plugs from Kaz we’re sure you’ll find amusing and possibly even relate to. Never ceases to amaze me how these “big bosses” get into their positions.
*December Staff Meeting*
BigVP: We need to get more involved with getting our message out through social media. We will be leaning on Kaz and his expertise over the past 2 years.*January Staff Meeting*
BigVP: Yep, Kaz will be our goto guy for social media.*March*
Co-Worker: Did you reserve the company name on Twitter and not the guy we just fired?Kaz: Yea because based on the discussions in January I thought I would be heading that up as the ‘go-to’ guy for social media.
*April 15*
BigVP: I want co-worker to handle all twitter posts so could you send her the login?Yea, nice follow through there with your go-to guy. Not to mention that when co-worker comes to me asking for advice my response will be, “Don’t you know since you are handling it?” *snark*
Now this sounds oddly familiar. I mean, you’re the “go-to guy.” *Of course* you’re gonna help the newbie who probably commands a higher salary and “respect” even though that person obviously doesn’t have a clue to to wipe his or her ass. But wait, it’s probably also *our* jobs to ensure a good ass wiping is “rectal-fied.”
I submit if someone’s hired to take over a responsiblity that I’d been during for a number of years, I’d gloat and grin and just point my finger and maybe even talk a bit, like so:
“See, there’s this website called ‘Twitter.’ And what you do is create a name. It’s real easy. Just go to the website and create a name. What? You don’t have a computer?? ::sigh:: Okay, just contact the XXX department and ask for a computer. What do you mean you don’t have a phone? Just email them!!! You need a computer to send an email? Sounds like you’re in a real fix. Okay, when you get your email and computer, let me know and I’ll show you Twitter. Twitter??? You never heard of it??? :::sigh::: I’ll just let the VP know that you’re still working on it.”
(“Hey, where’d the new guy go?”)
