From Donna's Desk:
No pay until verified.
No stopping, or it may affect eligibility.
So yes, please continue doing the job we cannot officially confirm you have, so we can determine whether you are allowed to keep having it.
This is what happens when process forgets people are standing inside it.
I understand verification. I understand records. I also understand that a system should not make an employee feel like both a liability and a loophole.
So I’m curious:
What workplace rule made sense right up until a real person had to follow it?
Have you ever been caught between two policies that could not both be reasonable?
I’ll be in the Green Campaign meeting, hoping I have staff upon my return.

If you’ve ever thought, “How am I the only adult in this room?” you’re among friends.
Donna Lake Comic is for the people who keep things moving while everyone else creates new complications. The ones who solve the problem, and keep their actual thoughts safely behind a very controlled facial expression.
It’s a sharp, heartfelt office comedy about corporate nonsense, competence fatigue, quiet leadership, and the strange amount of dignity required to function in an increasingly unreasonable workplace.
Welcome to Donna Lake.
