I can’t stand stupidity!!

Was evaluating a tender submission which some people obviously have quoted much lower than the rest. Lots of analysis was done, risk analysis, total cost value, implication, duration of years, market outlook bla.. bla .. bla you name it.

Action sheet from the board coming back saying that the contract is to be allocated EVENLY for the people. Read: EVENLY.

What was the use of the rating, risk analysis I did?

Then the two very expensive submissions (which I have rejected in my evaluation) were asked to reduce their rates to match the lowest.

What was the use then of the tender process? You might as well ask me to invite all the players to sit down together and come out with one number.

Talking about working smart huh?

Clipperseep is currently listening to Vanessa Carlton which piano arrangement was fantastic! At least there’s one good thing of the day filled with the stupid directives.
