workaday Wednesday
Jan. 17th, 2018 08:51 amYou know when you start a new job, and you're all 'gosh, I wonder how long it will take me to learn the process?' And then you're there for a bit and you start thinking 'am I doing badly? do they not trust me enough to tell me the process? is it a secret?'
And so maybe one day you suggest ever so tactfully that perhaps the process could be written down -- not for you, of course, if that wasn't appropriate to your role, but just in general. For knowledge. Or the future! Or science!
And yet despite its seeming logic, this suggestion is given a suspiciously vague answer that is neither yes nor no. And it suddenly seems more possible that the reason no one has told you the process is because no one actually *knows* the process. In fact, there may not even *be* a process. 'We've done this before, right?' you ask, attempting to at least create a solid starting point. The answer you get is 'well...'
