Staff meetings

(To fully understand this entry, you need to remember an early entry where I talked about this stupid organizational chart that the bosses worked on for weeks. The chart is the joke of the office, in large part because its development meant the Biloxi team did not have a Team Lead for 10 days of their four week extension. None of us paid any attention to what it said, at least so I thought.)

There are two senior staff meetings every day, 8:30 am and 5:00 pm. The 8:30 is especially important because it provides an opporuntity to highlight all the accomplishments in our work and changes to the plan that happened while we slept.

One team member, Krista, has been attending the daily senior staff meeting at 5:00 pm everyday. Even the Team Lead does not like attending the meeting, because it is lots of talk and not much essential information. Krista is not a senior staff. There are ten people working on Jeff Davis issues, and she is not the team lead or the deputy team lead. Maybe you could call her the third in command out of ten. The team lead told her she did not need to attend the senior staff meeting, but she responded, "It is expected that someone at my place in the organizational chart would attend the senior staff meetings."

It is amazing how much the dynamic has changed when they replaced most of the team.
