The De-evolution of a Good Idea

Earlier this year I started a new job....well at least mostly. Even though I ended up at the place I used to work 4 days a week, I still had a new title and a new building to work at the other day. Three other people were hired and lent back to their old jobs as well. We all, with a fifth person as well, had the task to help consolidate the network support back to the new place. So we all pick one day the same that woe would be at the new place and set up a meeting with us 5, techies only so we could get things done.

As time went on our team lead heard about it and sat in taking notes. This worked pretty good as she just sat in there and listened or occasionally asked some question for clarification.

Add a little more time and our customer service rep would sit in.

Soon after our supervisor joins our meeting. The a couple new hires. We get a new team lead and he joins.

Now in the present the meeting is setup and run by our supervisor, with a meeting agenda layed out and a task assigned sheet waiting to be filled up. And our last meeting we had a stack of papers probably 3 inches thick to go over in the meeting which including step-by-step project plan tasks, inventory spreadsheets, and other tedious documents.

Guess it is time to start a new techies only meeting and see if we can make it another 6 months before that gets tainted as well.
