I don't know. My bob is doing an OK (not brilliant, mind) job on my plan D.
He needs close supervision I find.

Me : Have you configured the firewall like I asked?

Bob : Oh yes, is all done in the correct way! <headwobble>

Next Day :

Me : Did you configured the firewall like I asked?

Bob : Oh yes, has all be done most correctly! <headwobble>

Next Day :

Me : I've just had the Pen Test reports. The firewall wasn't properly configured. Did you do it like I asked?

Bob : No.

You have to realise that the sideways head wobble is a near sub-conscious way of saying "I'm not going to tell you 'No' because that would be impolite, but 'No'".

You missed the last line . . .

Me : You're fired.

I understood the head wobble to be the same as the western nod. I've seen people unaware of this fact, go almost insane with anger over it. I'm sure there will have been a few murders.

Are you in a position to fire Bobs?

You lucky man.
