Dear Yak,
My manager is attending a training course next week entitled “Managing
staff that are under-performing”. As I am her only staff member, should
I be concerned? (Oops, just spilt the nail polish.)
Yours sincerely,
In The Firing Line
Dear In The Firing Line,
The same thing happened to me once. It was when I was a young yak in
Nepal. I had a job giving fat tourists rides up and down the
mountainside.
My herdsman booked himself some training called “Flog that bovine –
getting more out of your beast of burden” (meals included). When I found
out, I was so annoyed I deliberately threw my next passenger down a
steep ravine.
She broke both legs and her collarbone and sued the company for pain and suffering. I took a redundancy package.
My point? Don’t get concerned. Get even.
Hope this helps.
With kind regards,
The Yak
