Real life MCP - Category 9
Today an MCP walked into my room and asked, "Who sent out THAT announcement to all the staff?"
I replied, "I did."
"Do you know that this kind of announcement can create panic and chaos?"
"Are you telling me that you want my department to be responsible for the inconvenience caused by your department?"
"No, I don't mean that, but this kind of matter should come to me first."
"Did I not inform your staff? Did they not inform you?"
"..."
MCP walked out. I don't even bother to raise my eyebrows.
It is okay that you didn't prepare the paperwork on time.
It is okay that you have inconvenienced every one of us here.
It is okay that you don't know how to spell the word SORRY.
But it is NOT okay to ask me to cover your inefficiency for you.
Because it is my duty here to inform everyone the cause of the problem.
And congratulations, as you have single-handedly reinforced your image as a buffoon.
