and how about a reply to these damn stupid messages
"As a total techie cynic I think it is about a thousand years part the time
when these damn stupid e mails are killed off.
If I write to you I bet it gets dealt with, or do I just get a snail mail
verson of the above.
If I fax you - likewise
If I ring you does the receptionist tell me to get knotted until your
return.
Nothing personal, but a version of this is going out now to everyone who
sends me this highly inefficient, incompetent, and damn stupid abuse of
modern, supposedly efficient communications.
You will not of course in an inefficient organisation get this message until
your return, but when you do please do not bin it, despite my aggressive
language. Send it to your management, techie types or others, and ask them how they can solve the desperately difficult problem of how to deal with
your official correspondence in your absence.
Clearly the old fashioned methods of someone checking and dealing with your post, fax phone are deemed to be too inefficient for the electronic age.
In order that the whole world can have a laugh at business administration
please do feel free to forward this to a friend. After all he/she may be
away as well, and when you get their auto response you can send them another copy of this."
Come on everyone, join my campaign and send this, or your own version in reply every time you come accros this example of corporate incompetence
