<p>Bah! I don't want sheeple, I want people to feel empowered to make stoopid decisions.</p>
Adventures in demotivation, or democracy in inaction
<p>We have a bi-weekly team meeting, all 16 of us together. Much fun and frolic.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Monthly we have departmental forums, all several hundred of us including partners overseas. Much fun and frolic.</p>
<p>Following THAT meeting we have a manager's bearpit where the beatings continue until morale improves. This meeting is in conflict with my team meeting. So I put it to my team via the wonderful Outlook voting buttons that they had a choice between holding our meeting or rescheduling it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Two options: Cancel or Hold it. No other options. Instead I get "I dunno...", "go with what you think best" </p>
<p> </p>
<p>See, now I know where I went wrong. I shoulda made it three options and included "Whip It Out"</p>
