Over the course of a big project, this company has seen a whole string of consultants come and go. “One consultant that had been with us for a number of years sent an e-mail to the entire company on his last day,” says a pilot fish in the loop. “My favorite part of the message was the following: ‘Over the past three years, you have taught me more than I could ever ask for and, in most cases, ever did ask for. I have been fortunate enough to work with some absolutely interchangeable supervisors on a wide variety of seemingly identical projects – an invaluable lesson in overcoming daily tedium.’ Something tells me he was not very sad about leaving.”
