Any time I have to deal with our Purchasing, Accounts Payable, or Legal departments.
EVERYTHING is just so darn complicated -- and their policies and procedures keep changing, seemingly at will.
Typical interaction: "It's a $200 dollar purchase -- does it need a purchase order or not?......... Wait, what?!....... A CONTRACT? For 200 bucks? Who needs to sign the contract on our end?..........The CEO!....(recovers from shock)......Wait, this is a billion-dollar operation and you're telling me the CEO of the whole shebang needs to sign a $200 contract? Am I understanding this correctly?........Well, yeah, but I'm confused because last month you guys paid a $1,500 invoice on just my boss' signature.........Somebody must have, because I called the vendor to make sure they got paid..... OK, well, I don't have a problem following procedures, I'm just trying to get clear on what the procedure IS......"
Someone around here says, "We need to order....." and I just want to cry......
