Working Daze by John Zakour and Scott Roberts for January 26, 2019

. . . poor Norm. :’(

Lawrence J Peter had a name for that.

Then the company seizes them because the official policy is white. Back to normal, Norm.

I’m wondering if MMM pays for employees’ business cards, or do the employees have to buy their own? What is standard in the business world anyway? I always worked for the Federal Government (retired now!) and we had to buy our own if we wanted them. I never had them in 30 years of work, though I could have used them many times.

I’ve followed Working Daze for many years now but until a few days ago I never realized that Norm was also one of Rita’s underlings. I thought he was another manager, more or less Rita’s equal in the company hierarchy. Does Norm supervise/manage (at least on paper) part of Rita’s overall wing of the company? I can’t remember if Rita is actually a company VP or not.

I have some sympathy for Norm. I hate giving orders almost as much as I hate getting them.

Now if only he had the courage to make that dream cone true. That would shock a lot of people there…

His dream self is not unattractive. He may not be a hunk, but he looks decent.
