There will be times in which, during the routine completion of your duties, you'll have to coordinate with employees outside your own department. They'll have their own job responsibilities and daily priorities that may, at first glance, seem foreign to you. It may indeed appear as though their methodologies are disorganized, slow and inefficient. It may then occur to you to bring this up with somebody. The employees with whom you're currently working or their bosses, for example. If you are in the position to suggest an alternative—if you are in the position to suggest an alternative—the proper way to go about this is to: 1) mention your observations to your fellow co-workers; 2) describe your suggestions for improvement and why you believe they'd do well to adopt them; and 3) offer to help with their implementation. Do not pull what is commonly referred to in workplace parlance as the "dive-by dump," wherein you complain to their bosses about that which you don't understand and then leave everybody to it. I'll say it again: do not take a dump on other employees. It's c**ty behavior and nobody likes it. In the interest of open discourse and promoting basic courtesies that any Troglodyte should understand, I'd be happy to discuss this in person with anyone who requires a follow-up. **** you very much. |

I need you to be more of a proactive team player. This disruptive behavior will not look good on your track record. You need to think outside the box and help motivate our new synergistic paradigm. |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

It's a dog-eat-dog world out there, and Aqua's wearing milk-bone underwear. |
