Today I had to justify some of my dept staff not being able to meet that short notice. I received the sweet letter of reprimand yesterday (dated 20th October!!) 4 months after that deadline (3 July) and in between not a word or a reminder?? Where were they in all this time?
I have been tracking the movement of these so-called short notices and sometimes it's ridiculously mad
here goes:
the letter arrives from Putrajaya .. arrives at the admin's post in 3 days.. they get stuck at the bosses' P.A.'s office before it gets into the bosses' office for their attention..that's probably another 3 days!.. then it goes into the department's post box and sits there for a day or 2.. before the department clerk gets it to me..all in all a staggering week of delay in the campus itself? by then the deadline is likely to be 2 days away. How to acceed to the demands from up there in Putrajaya?
