write down the process for not talking anymore

i can't even begin to wrap my head around the exact details of what happened, so i'm going to set you up with some background and then show you what i tweeted.

regina, the admin assistant, went to tom's desk to ask him what his process was for 'running the backup tapes.' his process was pretty difficult:
1. remove old tape
2. insert new tape

the next 20 minutes consisted of a lot of repetition, including the following gem:

"so are they actual tapes?"

i messaged kelly in tech support to ask if that was seriously happening behind me. it really was.


and now, my tweets:
admin assistant is questioning the IT guy about the backup tape process. NO, there is no written process for "remove tape. insert tape."

wow, she seriously just said that there should be a written process so "other people could do it" if IT guy isn't here. OTHER PEOPLE KNOW.

apparently the boss is getting lists of everything everyone does so when they leave he can replace them easily.

I'm no business dude, but it seems like a better place to focus would be on job satisfaction. But what do I know.
