Friday, an overt pro mandator asked me for some data to build a report. I gave him exactly what he asked for. It looked to me like he was missing the most vital field, though.
I pulled a copy of the full data set including what he left out. I built what I thought our Director would be looking for friday afternoon. The only things I didn't do were some aesthetic touches on the final PowerPoint.
This morning, he was called into our Directors office... the yells were barely contained. Mr Mandator came out sobbing. I don't know if he was sent home or, what, but he packed up for the day.
A little while later, my Director called me in, and told me what he needed by this afternoon. Lo and behold... I was right. My director will be thrilled when he gets the report early.
I guarantee you, the evil mandator is tops on the list for the next RIF.
I won't even miss the afternoon walk with the girls.
Fight, oppose, sabotage, impede... no action to small
