When the writing had to stop

A few years back, when I was already tiring of the excessive redundant workload imposed by larger employers’ admin-heavy busybodying departments, I assembled this horror story.

In a bureaucracy, never write anything down. That bit of paper must then be logged in a document control system, given a serial number, tracked, acted on, promoted with a PowerPoint presentation, discussed in a weekly meeting, progress-chased by telephone, scrutinised in a focus group, appraised by a standards committee, signed and dated – preferably in blood, chronicled in a detailed monthly report co-authored with your line manager, countersigned by a minimum of two directors and scanned into a database for which you will need to write an abstract and choose a minimum of 12 words to search by.

Consider getting yourself a personal dictating machine!
