so this has been a challenging week - not only am I tired, but the person who caused me so much grief at work has in fact done a pretty appalling job and so I'm left holding the baby, as it were...
and sure, as the most senior person in my team the responsibility to deliver this project ultimately sits with me but she's had the best part of 3 months, plus a full time resource at her disposal and the results, are astonishingly crap...
seriously! she is paid a lot of money, has so called experience in project management (I'm seeing none of that), has less than desired stakeholder management skills, and has a very poor writing style...I have no evidence (other than the shit job her and the contractor have done) that she is a poor manager, but I think she probably is...
seriously, what has she been doing for the last 3 months (other than wallowing in self pity after she got some pretty tough feedback about her behaviour) and how on earth has she held down project management jobs?
and now, to top it off, she's basically working 8.30 - 5.00pm when a key board committed deadline is looming...
I will never understand people - honestly!
in other news, one of the other problem children in the team resigned today giving me reason to ask the boss for some time to take him through my proposed restructure which will reduce staffing levels slightly, save a fair bit of cash and get rid of the abovementioned person with a redundancy - genuinely...
and as of tomorrow evening my bff will be here for the weekend, and another week has passed!
60 weeks down, 96 to go, and at least 4 of those will be public holidays, another 8 annual leave, and I can probably eek out a further 1-2 in personal leave...so in reality, 80 or so weeks to go...
and in other news, I met with probably the best executive recruiter in the capital today and had a really good chat...
so onwards!
