The Contingency Plan

Report from Camp Mutiny

It's with great regret that I report Mutiny at PR Point did not take place.

The troops and I met. We decided we were all overloaded with work and were understaffed by two and despite our previous efforts, management had not acknowledged this for over six months.

We knew we needed to have a good strategy as we have an extremely savvy managing director (the only one of the management team we really trust) and need a strong argument to hold our ground.

So with this in mind, we decided to take a two-pronged attack. Part one of our scheme was to individually reapproach our group account directors (GAD) and emphasis just how serious the situation was. If results weren't seen in a month, we would then, as a group confront management and hold a meeting to discuss why nothing had been done. We didn't want our actions to be rash, unwise and full of angst.

So five of the eight of us met with our group account directors (GAD) to discuss the matter. I knew my GAD was particularly concerned as our group morale is low and my colleagues and I had been rather blunt with her (she's been rude and horrible to work with for the last couple months so this was very releasing).

And I think the message got through as she took us aside today (almost a week after our assault started) and said support was coming next week.

So we decided to hold off on our mutiny... for now...
