Exhibit A:

Email 1, 11:27am - sent by, let’s call him John. Well composed, describes an issue with possible solutions and suggests one as the likely best. Copied on email: me, Mike, and Sally.

Email 2: Mike replies to all, saying I agree with John and let’s go forward with his proposed solution (which, by the way, ONLY DIRECTLY INVOLVES HIM) we can always adjust for the stated reason. Again, everyone is copied.

This is as far as this topic ever needed to go.

But wait.

4 hours later, email 3: from Sally, this is the whole email:

“Info below...”

Replies to all.

Come on Sally, we were all in on the brief exchange that occurred. Now I wasted 2 minutes scrolling down looking for some new information that... wasn’t there.

Goddamnit Sally.

Given that:

* time is money

* knowledge is power

* wage is money per unit work

* power is work per unit time

...it follows that wage = 1/knowledge

In other words, you’re right

God help us all if that happens. I know several people who have quit specifically because they couldn’t work with her. That strikes me as problematic.

Sounds like an ongoing problem. Seriously most of the people I’ve seen do that are upper management or wish they were.

She needs to be let go if she’s costing you good people. Why companies can’t figure that out is beyond me.
