Oh, they probably know. It’d just get shoved to the never ending pile of “I’m gonna”. My expectations of admin are simply on the floor and i don’t have the energy to chase it up until it gets plausibly overdue (they’ll probably say it’s typically ready by the end of July so they have plenty of time)

We’ve had contracts nearly terminated because despite never ending reminders and follow ups they wouldn’t track down fairly standard paperwork required by a certain deadline. Purchase orders sitting around for weeks in the account inbox without anyone knowing that the work had been approved. Crucial equipment not bought because they “forgot”.

The only reason our business manager hasn’t been fired is probably because the company would be in even more of a shambles while trying to find a replacement. It doesn’t help that my boss is incompetent in managing that situation either…
