The Absolutely Worst Run Business (2)

In the First Episode of this series I went through the Personas, the Hippo, who is supposed to be in charge of Cray Z. House,  but does absolutely nothing, Pigthing, the filthy helper who does little except steal.

The Board, which ‘runs’ Cray Z. House, is made up of the most incompetent and distracted failures who have no idea of what is going on.

The example of the compounded stupidity of the Board can be displayed in the replacement of the Washing Machine.

There was a washing machine available to the tenants. It was free. It was decided to replace that with a ‘pay’ machine.

The tenants decided to hand wash.

It was not just cheapness it was the difficulty of getting the token to use the machine. The Hippo, who ‘ran’ Cray Z. House NEVER was approachable. The Helper, ‘Pigthing’ was dishonest so one had to walk behind her.

So the tenants began to hand wash.

To wash four pairs of jeans is an easy single load in a machine. A measured amount of soap, a measured amount of water.

To wash four pairs of jeans by hand is four times the water. The water the Board pays for.

Now why the Board would take out a ‘free’ washing machine, to put in a pay one, which requires tokens which can only be obtained from the Hippo, who is locked into her room and never comes out is the perfect example of poor management of Cray Z. House.

A perfect example of the fact that The Board has no idea what is happening. They see the increased water charges and assume a pipe is leaking, so hire plumbers.

This mistake is the foundation of errors for most businesses. They have no idea what is happening at ‘Ground Zero’. They implement an idea which may seem clever on paper but does not work in practice.

This is the hallmark of poor management.
