Okay, so I do a lengthy status report each week to my boss, compiling and distilling down submissions from my direct reports, max 3 pages. Each of my boss’s directs also does such a report. We all CC each other, and usually CC our respective directs, too. So, in effect, my report goes to my boss, my four peer managers, and my four directs.<\/p>\n
Last Friday, I included, two-thirds down, this little line item.<\/p>\n
HOS – STATUS REPORT REVIEW: D Hill will buy a beer for anyone who sends him a private e-mail confirming they read this item by COB 3-APR. (D Hill)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
<\/p>\n
HOS is the name for my group (Home Office Systems).<\/p>\n
I got, on Monday, one claim for a beer from one of my peer managers.<\/p>\n
This morning, in submitting this week’s report, I drew attention to the previous week’s entry. It’s been very amusing to me seeing the reactions (and\/or lack thereof) from the various recipients. Including my boss.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Disclaimer: I am not all that good about reading my peers’ reports — but I read every item from my directs, and I read the summary report that my boss sends up the food chain.<\/p>\n
