Deadwood at work

Re: Deadwood at work

Oh come on. Who can blame the poor guy for taking a breather to check his brackets? I mean, running a project is a lot of work. There's the motivational speeches, the meetings, the delegation, the meetings about next week's meetings, listening to complaints, the meetings about last week's meeting to discuss this week's meeting, the useless memos he has to send out, the meeting about scheduling the meeting to discuss if they have to many meetings......

That is actually 70% true.

We've managed to get rid of most of the dead weight on my project. There's one guy left, but he's already announced his plans to move to a different program soon (and there was much rejoicing).

At least now I won't be constantly reminded that I'm at the same organizational level as him on the project, but only half his level on the pay scale.

There's definitely no deadwood in my group. In fact, we've got so much going on, we could use another person.

Being of above average intelligence isn't much of a distinction when you see what the average is.

Being of above average intelligence isn't much of a distinction when you see what the average is.

In the UK you're in the top half of the population if you pass 5 out of 10 Subjects (with passes in Mathematics and English) at Grade C or above.

Bear in mind that the grade boundaries have been reduced every year for the last decade or so and that currently 40% (I think) of your grade comes from work you do at home, supposedly without the help of parents, siblings and friends.

Essentially if you can add 3 to 5 without using your fingers and can read "See Spot Run" without moving your lips you're above average.
