    Sorry for randomly disappearing.... but my job of late has been too depressing even to post about.

    To basically sum the last few months up:

    1. I am apparently not entitled to get any actual information from anyone.

    2. It is, however, my responsilibilty to make sure that everything I write is accurate because I should "know this stuff already."

    3. Re-doing our website is the ultimate super-special highest-ever priority. Except for all the little random things the CEO decides are ZOMG XTRA COOL ASAP!!1! which must be done right away. Then she gets mad when the website isn't done. My supervisor has literally asked her point-blank which ones are the actual priority, and she refused to answer, and stated that EVERYTHING had to get done.

    4. Oh, and the whole thing about firing half the staff? Turns out we need people to actually run the damn company, so some were hired back.

    5. Oh, and that whole thing about "cashflow for the year is garunteed" after those layoffs? Yeah, not so much. Apparently, we may be in "panic mode" in a month.

    So....you see why I've been too stressed and depressed to post about it!



    Hopefully back for good now.

      Reminds me of when I looked at our webpage after being asked for comments.

      "Splash screen?" I asked.

      "The account managers said it was good. They wanted one."

      "Nobody has splash screens any more! It wastes the user's time!"

      "You can click to go past it faster..."

      "It's an extra click to dissuade the user!"

      The splash screen lasted a couple more hours before the force of my scorn from the other side of the office burned it from our server. Rawr.

      Oh, and we don't have account managers now. They're all still employed by us, but we don't have the positions at all. It's not down to this incident, but...
