I get to work a little bit ago, and in the span of ~ 20 minutes, 3 of my bosses send reminders to the SAME DISTRIBUTION LIST - of which they're members - to remind us to get our timesheets in today.

by the second one I would have said 'yea I already filed the TPS report', and wait for the response. Worst that can happen is they stare blankly if they have no clue what your talking about. If they have seen the movie, they'd probably laugh. 🙂
 
Something similar happened to me a few weeks ago.

A guy sent a note to another person (and the distribution list) asking the other person to send an email to the distribution list telling them that a server was going to be unavailable.

The other person responded to the person (and the distribution list) that Yes, they would notify the users that the server was going down.

Then they BOTH proceeded to notify the distro list that the server was going down. :roll:

Needless to say I don't think "Efficiency" is in our mission statement. 😉

If efficiency enters your mission statement, that means that 2/3rds of your company's getting canned. If thoroughness enters the mission statement, that means that they're going to hire auditors and 2/3rds of your work is going to be documentation. If making a profit enters the mission statement you need to determine whether it's best to speak spanish, hindu, or cantonese ASAP.

Not worth the risk... some bosses are cool, but many are not.
