Once I uttered that, my Millennial colleague reflexively look at that one Staff and laughed. We were both surprised because he totally got it. And the Staff in question does whatever I told them not to.
Here is a hint of things that can happen.
When I uttered that line, the Staff was opening a Chest Freezer. Normally, it would be followed by the sound of crinkling plastic. Not things being knocked about. Strongly.
And for yesterday's story?
It started when the Staff walked to the Technical area, which raised my suspicion. After what was an eternity (OK, about 20 seconds) I realised what is happening. Let's call these items A. My Boss and I have been working on recording and auditing items A for all four sites. And I have sent the final presentation plus the calculations to him. The topic on A was not to be moved forward without his decision.
However, after some discussion, my Boss then sent the Staff a copy of my Presentation. Thing started to go South when the said Staff, without reading it or remembered my Boss's instruction, just forwarded to the Big Boss despite (I am very sure) my Boss telling the Staff not to.
