Last week I was doing a presentation to The Kids in another department. Basically just spelling out the breaks in the value chain. I flipped onto a slide outlining a particularly impressive bit of fuck-wittage and was about to say “and here’s where we pretty much tell the customer to piss off”; but I thought no, best moderate the tone, so I said “here’s where we pretty much tell the customer to sod off” – cue gasps and guilty giggles from the assembled party
I celebrated my new freedom by calling Legal a bunch of bedwetting bureaucrats, for requiring me to sign-off on the infinitesimal commercial risk of a project. Thereby absolving them of either a) making a decision, or b) delivering a solution.
