wake up

It is Friday finally. It has been a hell of a week even us up at the top take time to wake up every now and then. Today was one of those days, and to all the employees that have come into my office while I was still waking up... piss off. If you wanted something the first answer that comes to mind is NO and your stupid. For those that have come in, made a suggestion the answer was most likely a YES not get the hell out of here.

Why such different answers you ask. Well I am here to tell you. If you go into any C-level office and the person is still groggy for any reason and it is just taking a little longer to get into gear in the morning. DO NOT come into the office with a problem and expect a positive answer it is well, just stupid. How do you like to solve problems when you are still waking up. that’s what I thought.

Now if you go into any C-level office under the same conditions and have a solution to a problem even if it is to make you life easier…. Well I can tell you all I need to do is nod and say ok or yes sounds good. You see we can still tell if an idea is good or not but we do not have to actually put much thought into the other parts it will affect because we did not tell you what to do and you are smart enough to figure it out. After all you are still working here and have direct contact with us so we already think you are smart enough to do the work and then some.

So when you see your boss is groggy in the morning, do yourself a favor. Never go into a C-level office with a problem and looking for solution it will be frowned upon on your next review especially if you do it often. But DO go in if you have a problem AND a solution that make sense, everyone will be much happier.
