Management Powwow (Continued)

Situation 2:

Freak: Ummm...ahhhh...errrrr I want to talk about our work schedule on Saturday. I think we need more cooperation.

Pokemon: Very good to remind me of it because I want to talk about it too. It doesn’t mean that I’m here to help Business Service staffs work just because there’s one staff per department on my Saturday schedule. And you have no right to tell me to help them work. I have my own work to do. Last Saturday I was extremely busy running rebates but you kept telling me to key in new applicants’ info.

Freak: But it’s about thoughtfulness and Born to Eat works busily (and eats everything up) all alone.

Pokemon: What about me? I work busily all alone too. You must be informed that on Saturday there’s just one staff per department. That means they must be fully responsible for their department. And don’t talk about thoughtfulness because I always help them when I’m not busy.

Freak: But Born To Eat works (but mostly and secretly eats) alone and it’s a busy day. Besides, stock must be counted on Saturday (We check stock only on the last working day of each month, not every Saturday).

Pokemon: It’s been like this for years even before you joined us. But Born To Eat has managed to work independently (and eat alone). If you want me to help her, I suggest you learn to take orders so you can help her because it’s directly related to your department. I myself can do that. Everybody can do that. But only you can’t do that. And if there are too many problems, either everybody works on every Saturday or we don’t operate business on Saturday.

Born To Eat: BS staffs used to work on every Saturday but we had every other Monday off.

Lame Duck (Hello??): This sounds practically good. Let me consider it.

Freak: Does this mean we won’t sell products on Monday? (She has a serious problem with her understanding)
