Relationships

Today was another day confirming that in what I do, it's relationships. Not Knowledge Management software and other rubbish that my idiots think can substitute for the relationships and depth, its relationships. After two days of fucking around with the irritating fucking little Asian Bitch Pekinese know-nothing grad who thinks fucking agenda points and her "really understanding" by forcing me to irritate my clients is business, I ring up the old Battle Axe and she gets me 2 names at one of the big boys on the Street, I make a couple calls and bingo.

Relationships.

And my fucking management thinks their KM software is a substitute for the loss of blood. "Institutionalising" they call it.

Idiots. At least in MENA we don't pretend it's anything but relationships.

it'll be fun to see how fast the titanic sinks once you've stopped bailing.

Not me, when key staff like Battle Axe (she's not really a Battle Axe of course).

I'm expendable, MENA is marginal to them.

But staff like this woman are leaving fast, leaching away relationships, which leaches away their ability to build and do business. However, the Sr Mgmt clique has the Board snowed for the moment.
