I came back from a client meeting today to find 1 person looking for me, and then two people aiming me to let know the first person is also looking for me. Sometimes I hate AIM. Although one day I turned off IM thinking I’d get some work done, but then I got a call to find out where I was.
From Office Space:
Peter Gibbons:
You see Bob, it’s not that I’m lazy, it’s that I just don’t care.
Bob Porter:
Don’t… don’t care?
Peter Gibbons:
It’s a problem of motivation, all right? Now if I work my ass off and
Initech ships a few extra units, I don’t see another dime, so where’s
the motivation? And here’s another thing, I have eight different bosses
right now.
Bob Porter:
Eight?
Peter Gibbons:
Eight, Bob. So that means when I make a mistake, I have eight different
people coming by to tell me about it. That’s my only real motivation is
not to be hassled, that, and the fear of losing my job. But you know,
Bob, that will only make someone work just hard enough not to get
fired.
