In reply to Surveys, and names, and I statements, Oh my!, posted by gardenergirl on May 8, 2007, at 19:35:40
As per usual, I had my 2 cents to add to GG's superlative job on this post:
> Dr. Bob,
>
> You've never asked the deputies to "hold down the fort" indefinitely.
You just leave indefinitely without notice.> You've not provided the deputies with adequate tools and resources to do so. You've made no formal (or otherwise) changes in policy to increase deputy authority to make up for the void you've left.
Hello! Crises on chat! ISP provider information!
> You have done little to make up for the giant deficit of support for the deputies while continuing to rack up a greater "support debt".
>Is there a repayment plan in place to spread the load amongst the staff of deputies? Hmmm.... thought not.
> With the seemingly precious, minuscule amount of time you have found to devote to Babble recently, you use that time to talk about surveys, address a name change, and answer one specific question about a block (not that those issues are not also worthy of attention). But have you noticed anything else going on here recently? Read any emails? This is how you prioritize your time?
>Would you care for some input as to what issues require highest priority? Because I am good at filing, you know, a soul of a secretary I always say, and can quickly sort out your What's Hot and What Not piles. Unrelated to your personal preference, you understand.
> How absolutely shameful and self-centered.I'm afraid so.
>
> (Belated note to self: Duh! Why in the world would someone with this personality type give a rat's *ss? Rolls eyes and shakes head at the rampant idealism.)I fervently join you in the rolling of mine own eyes and shaking of head.
>
> It's true this is finger-pointing and accusing. There is no hedging or compassion for whatever internal state is driving the narcissism. There are, with intention, no "I" statements in this post, because it's all about you and your behavior, Dr. Bob. This behavior speaks volumes about what and who you value....AND, IT"S ABOUT TIME SOMEBODY SPOKE ALOUD ABOUT IT. Thank you so very much, GG.

> In case you're unaware of the tone of the message your behavior is sending, here's a hint: It's not flattering.
