Why doesn't anyone ever read anything !!!
« on: April 30, 2012, 06:22:03 PM »
I have been working hard the last couple of days doing a complete evaluation of the work of our service area for the last financial year  noooo:

I prepared a few spreadsheets and circulated these this afternoon to the team.

In big BOLD RED LETTERS at the top of the report I put that this was not representative of individual officers stats but of the wards and districts that the officers cover.

Within a minute I had an email response from one of the blokeys saying that he thought my figures were SKEWED as he had done at least this and that etc.

I referred the eejit to the blindingly obvious disclaimer at the top of the report.

He replied and said I didn't see that - I just panicked  Banghead Banghead Banghead

Pardon?

Call it a hunch but given most some of your previous threads Nick can I assume you don't read instructions either?  rubschin:
