So, I'm having my weekly one on one with my director when some nice Russian gentleman *I've* never seen before knocks on my office door and walks on in....
(note--this is normal for my office. I'm lucky if people actually *knock* before they waltz on in. Given I'm in video/teleconference a lot, it leads to some interesting listening for the folks 900 miles up the road)
...and asks me what my profile is.
What?
Again, he asks--what's my profile. I asked him for some context, thanks, and it turned out that he was surveying to find out what sort of SAP R/3 access I needed to have.
Oh, okay...
And then he said, he didn't have mine because he's been all the way through the division, and no one claimed me.
Gee, that's nice.
My director then broke in and pointed out I reported to her, and I should have full access.
Okay, but here's the thing:
The guy went through the entire division, and no one bothered to tell him *who* I reported to--they just said I didn't report to *them*, and sent him on his increasingly worried way.
Makes me wonder what other blind alleys and dead ends are being created on the fly.
