Despite three likes on their intranet award story, the winning team from community development couldn’t find a working pen or postit note in their stationery cupboard if they tried.
Team member Marcus Semkus said the adulation improved team morale, but since his induction and three weeks into a secondment, he was still working without a functioning pen.
“We pumped up our numbers (for that award) but let’s face it – no one follows up this stuff. Hey – do you know anyone who can adjust these side by side monitors?”
Part time administration assistant and Phd graduate, Casee (pronounced Casey) said while the award was great, the team culture, less so. “Quick wins and shit.” Casey said, inserting a toner cartridge into the printer, “…but can we manage a project from end to end? Probably not.”
