From Donna's Desk

My “Intent to Relocate” form didn’t relocate anything.

So instead of  placing the scented effigies somewhere safe, we have:

• A compliance alert

• A new category called “Employee Engagement Aids”

• And Parker, abruptly present with the right paperwork and the expression of a fox who just smelled bureaucracy and thought: advantage.

You try to solve a simple problem… and the system turns it into a process.

And then you’re stuck managing the process about the process… while the original problem sits there, still staring at you with tiny embroidered eyes.

So tell me:

• What’s the smallest action you’ve taken that accidentally triggered a full compliance event?

• Have you ever watched something perfectly normal get rebranded into corporate language so hard it stopped being recognizable?

• And how do you keep your sense of humor when you realize your workplace has more forms than solutions?

I’ll be here, “acknowledging” the assets.
