What is the purpose of a staffing meeting? I realize this is a loaded question.
We have new rules for our staffing meetings in Cube City, but people aren't following them. If you don't request the right people for your brand work by the time we start the weekly meeting, you supposedly won't get anyone to work on your projects.
Uh, yeah. Tell that to people who talk to our clients, who have no idea how much work we sweat out of our pores for someone other than them.
People don't follow rules. They make up rules as they go along. So I sit in this boring meeting and make suggestions that people won't follow because they think the rules don't apply to them.
BASTARDS!
The rest of my week involves haggling with staffing coordinators and trying to help them clean up staffing shortages. Who's got any free time? How much? How soon can they start something they aren't expecting? Are they the best fit for this project? Who's better, and does that person have any time? If so, how much and how soon can they start?
AAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHHH! I don't want to deal with this garbage. I just want to do my work...assuming I'm staffed appropriately for it, anyway.

Overheard in a conversation yesterday: "Yes, I know that Sally (not her real name) already has 57 hours this week. She's just going to have to add the extra 4 and work it in somehow."
And this was on a Wednesday. Is that even humanly possible?
Around here, it is. Because we don't have lives if there's work to do. Sigh.
