> Oh, and as an external consultant, I'm not allowed to know some of the trade secrets in the documents. [...] I need to smuggle these trade secrets back into the company, so that the internal side can handle them. They just have to make sure they don't accidentally repeat them back to me.
he's not supposed to know things he made and left behind. this all gets me thinking about the difference between the employees and "the company"
the employees are always the company, they embody it, like he used to. but as soon as he retires he's supposed to suddently not-know the secrets of the company? best to laugh at the absurdity
At least the company hired him back as a consultant with a big paycheck.
It's ironic how managers and executices in organization, especially but not limited to companies, are always stressing about the clock for a few minutes lost here and there by employees, yet are totally fine wasting days of productivity by not having a proper documentation process or practices.
