I work with a half dozen different contractors and staff
employees scattered around the corporate HQ. As the personnel
turns over, the corporate history and raw technical expertise is
lost.
In the past, I could fire off a half page memo to ask for some
information, a component, or change made to a system. Usually
this was enough to cause some action.
Now, because of the dumbing down, turnover, and shuffling around,
I'm getting memo's back that either miss the point, ask for
clarification where none should be required, or they do something
other than what I asked for.
Sometimes I get pages of these email 'dumb looks'.
No joke, I have spent two months trying to get a guy on the
other side of the building to run a job that already works.
Every time I email him, I get a memo back with a 'dumb look' in
it.
I have also spent hours and a dozen phone calls in an effort to
get someone to find and fax one piece of paper.
The common thread in both is that it's a new person and the
person that I used to deal with for years has moved on. <getting
their requisite 50% salary increase.>
This is the cost of the turnover... ...and it's just beginning.
