Ever been in position of influence but not quite enough influence? Seen a boss or other "upper" doing something really stupid and potentially detrimental to the group you work with and not really have a way to do anything about it? (Other than vent to a non-involved third party who sadly also has no answers.) Ever find yourself wanting to "face-palm" or hit your head against the nearest wall in frustration when you repeatedly- blatantly and not-so-blatantly- suggest other ways to try to do things? Do failures and repeat reprimands from others involved in the venture only encourage further stupidity on the part of the boss/upper to the point that you hope your name & reputation are not associated?
If so, WHAT THE HELL DO/DID YOU DO ABOUT IT?!?!?
The best suggestion I've gotten so far involves a paper ring calendar. The kind that you can take a loop off each day, marking the days until the issue is no longer an issue. I think we might have enough paper in the house to make that many loops...
