When work politics gets in the way of work

[dwrd]

There are times when the politics of work, make it very hard to actually do the work that needs to be done. I am currently going through this in my department, where the manager is realizing that the few of us who actually come to work to, you know, work, are getting very frustrated with the others who are dragging along. Sadly, instead of doing something to remove the problem, the problem just gets worse due to crappy management. Something will change that only half of the department will follow for more than 2 or 3 days, and that just makes the entire situation worse, as it puts even more work on those who follow the guidelines set forth for them. This could end up being a long week here at work. Today is Cinco de Mayo though, so maybe a pitcher of margaritas will help with the BS.
