Policy....... what do u understand by this?
Policy is a boon at the giving end and curse at the receiving end. (I won't lie....I have been on both ends).
Whenever I have encountered this word I have potentially found myself in difficult situation where typically I would like to get some help...but the person who can help is either lazy or defending themselves because (you know) of the policy.
There is a very famous saying in companies.... specially IT companies ... we have an 'Open Door Policy'...whenever I hear this ....The little devil inside me with her "red pointed horn hair band" and "one dirty golden tooth" looks at me and gives an "evil smile"....and that smile reflects on my face at that very moment....because I know and we all know....what "Open Door Policy" actually means....
Policies are also made when you don't want to answer uncomfortable questions....Usually people are intimidated and they don't ask questions(apparently because of the policy jargon..)....But there are some like me who are infamous for asking questions, and funny things happen when at the receiving end of the question there is a person who can be a perfect dumb blond.
You get really creative answers like "I am surprised that you did know know about this policy.....everybody knows about it....But we cannot tell you because its a confidential policy"....At this point of time the devil inside me is ready to charge the dumb blond with her red horned hair band ...but I end up staring with rage.....what to do ...a policy is a policy... weather its confidential or not.
Any way....Scott Adams have beautifully said this in a three block strip....
Enjoy.....
Pearls of "Wise Dumb" - Most of the time you can avoid unpleasant situations with three things .. Timely Information...Acknowledgement...and Acceptance...
Let the Policies take care of the rest...
