The male owner is really lazy, and so inefficient that he can make one tiny job "swamp" him. My heart sank when he volunteered to tackle the stock photo task on our current project. The mission: select 40 stock photos that can represent 20 different IT companies in some dumb video. Watch, I'll select one right now:
Only 39 to go.
My boss managed to sub-delegate this to THREE OTHER PEOPLE. First I was called in help with a DVD of photos we bought for a previous brochure printing. I needed to make them smaller. "They're 30 meg TIF files, and it's really cumbersome for me to flip through them and do the selects. If you can do a batch process and shrink them down..." I took a look at the DVD, sized the TWO large TIFs down to JPGs, and copied the remaining 10 JPGs to the server for him, untouched. I come back from lunch and see that the producer is now looking through the DVD archives to source last year's stock photos for my boss. Once those were copied to the server, my boss finally asked the art director to help him do the selecting "because you've got a really good eye for that sort of thing."
So then the art director did it all. Was anyone fooled by the boss' clever ruse? |
