What is up everyone? It’s the Jarl here.
I would like to ask something. Something that I have been noticing lately. Why is it that seemingly nobody who works as an administrator or has some kind of administrative job isn’t able to properly do their work?
Doesn’t matter the kind of business it is! Ask FireFae, she has worked with many incompetent admins in F&B! I myself have worked (or tried to work rather…) with many in security and now at my new job as well. And I don’t get it…
All they usually have to do is fill in some forms, or sent some forms from one department to the next department, to make sure the employees are taken care of and that they have everything they need to be able to do their job. But somehow for many that seems rather difficult. Especially when someone new is hired and all the forms need to be filled out.
I have been working at my current job for about two weeks now and I still don’t have everything I am supposed to have.
I can’t access Teams making it so that I don’t have access to the information of what I will be doing or what team I will be working with on any given workday.
I don’t have access to the internal email causing me to miss a lot of important messages.
I don’t have all the clothes I am supposed to have.
This wouldn’t be such a bad thing if my job was fairly uncomplicated but it isn’t. This is also creating a lot of confusion and chaos for the Senior Officials who now have to figure everything out for me.
What is up with this?
I am not trying to bash anyone with this. I like my job, I like the colleagues I have met so far and everyone is taking care of each other. The work environment itself I have no complaints about. It is actually one of the more pleasant ones I have worked at in quite a long time.
But it just seems that too many people who have a desk job are for some reason incapable of doing their job correctly. This is costing the people on the work floor a lot of time, money and effort. This is costing the taxpayer even more since all the equipment and staff (especially when working in local government) is paid for by the people’s taxes.
This is just something that has been on my mind lately and I would love to hear what you, our lovely subscribers, think of this.
That is it for now! Thank you all for reading, thank you all for subscribing and thanks for letting me ponder on life’s most burning questions!

Most of that is an HR thing. HR is supposed to be the glue that brings new people into departments. They contact IT to set you up with teams and email. They contact the quartermaster to get you uniforms and equipment. But HR is about something other than new hires. They are in the business of keeping you from destroying the company and don't care about you.
The other admins are lost because they must figure out who to contact.
Oh tell me about it. And it's everywhere. What a nightmare
