After more than six months of waiting we have a new organisational structure. We know this because a variety of support areas have started using different numbers and headings on their communications, and occasionally asking questions such as:
"Why are your products split into apparently counter-intuitive business areas in the new organisational structure?"
To use an analogy, it appears that on the funny farm, crop rotation strategy is now the remit of the head sheep-shearer, while planting and harvesting falls under the dairy shed.
Since nobody has bothered to inform the revenue-generating areas of the new reporting lines we can at least try and deflect such questions with a simple:
"What new organisational structure?"
although this does occasionally prompt an ensuing lecture as to the specific expertise requirements for arable and livestock farming and how stupid we are to mix such things up.
Another day of taking sh+t for a living...

@udh - I'll give you the key.

@nursey - So tempting to just put your fingers in your ears and go "la-la-la-la-la"
Clearly you're missing the internal communications map designed to clarify any organizational miscommunications about the new organizational structure.
if anything can go wrong, it will.
smile . . . tomorrow will be worse.!!!
@tango - you don't work in Business Management do you?
@trywalker - I never stop smiling. It's what keeps me going when it gets waist-deep...
how long have you got??
Does the bank know of your online mutterings?
Andrew Goulding
@laog - No. There is no bank. This is all the imagined mutterings of an insane somnambulist who wonders what it would be like to work in a medium-sized international bank.
Hmm, that sound suspiciously like me and my concubine (sort of).
Andrew Goulding
@laog - I can imagine you having an imaginary concubine. (sort of).
