Notes on a(-n intraoffice) Scandal
I won’t bore you with the details because they are silly. But there are certain lessons to be gleaned from these recent shenanigans.
1. Do your shit. DO IT. GET IT DONE. If you are paid to complete a task, do it. Promptly. Without drama, incessant grumbling or delay.
2. Don’t do my shit. Just do yours. See Rule #1 for clarification.
As employees, particularly for this firm, we are required to work as a team. When one of us drops the ball, someone else must pick up the slack. You have to look me in the eyes. Remember that as you depart an hour early for lunch or ignore a student request or fail to mail a certification. If you promise something or it is part of your job description, do it. Please re-read Rule #1 and allow it to marinate.
This is a lesson that we should have all learned early in life. Yet I feel like accountability, like chivalry, must be dead. However, I am marrying a man that is quite chivalrous (didn’t know I would enjoy it as much as I do) and so you, dear co-worker, can figure out the simple lesson at the core of Rule #1.
