Rant

If you don't know how to write an email, send an email, find a name in a directory, find a file, send a file, or be polite, then you shouldn't be working in the business world!

Perhaps you had one too many crumpets with your pinky finger raised in the air just high enough to the point that you forgot to put it down and set into reality. This business, as you should know it, is not into having an admin do your work. It is not into outsourcing your personal needs and preferences to someone else within the organization who can better do it for you. It is not about stepping on people's toes to get what you want. It is about being resourceful, tactful, compromising, and decent.

Just because you came in here with fresh ideas and a fresh outlook on processes does not mean you don't have to learn the ones that are already in place. . . and learn from the PEOPLE who are already in place. This is a two-way street, not a one way narrow path. Get with our program before you create one of your own. Have some class, some sense, and some "thinking outside of the box"-ness before you go trying to change, strategize, and implement all things new.

We welcomed you in. Now, help yourself by learning what you don't know before assuming people will know it for you.

Beaten? Nah...
