Ok it’s been a while. I hope you managers have been doing ok, since you haven’t been able to get your fix here from this site. Speaking of managers who wants to hear about stupid management? Ok that’s enough raised hands.

Back on the 28th of December 2000 I wrote about how I got robbed at the hotel. Because of this incident the management at that time installed four cameras to keep a watch on what happens at the frontdesk. Nice idea, huh? Only two of the cameras actually looked at the frontdesk. Angles that one could see the people who were standing at the desk for either check in or to rob the place. The other two cameras looked at the lobby and a pop machine.

Good idea right? Yeah not that these cameras would stop the place from getting robbed. But I came in to work today to find the two that looked in on the desk have been moved. The placement of the cameras always had a certain blind-spot. The camera have been moved to try to focus more on the blind-spots. Personly this doesn’t bother me at all. I have nothing to hide.

But the rational at work here has of course got me wondering. Why move the cameras? The most obvious reason is they want to catch the people behind the desk doing something wrong. But what? Not that it matters of course. The thing that amuses me, is that with a limited number of cameras you still will have blind-spots. One just has to move to these new areas that lack camera coverage and do whatever it is their doing wrong in these new blind-spots.

I’m not the only one here that thinks this is illogical? Oh well what can you do? I just wish that management would live up to their name and manage. I know it’s asking a lot. But that’s just the way I am.
