I remember having to work with a manager who was known in client co for being a real ballbreaker, hard to work with and just not a nice person.
I found out early doors that if I sent all my work (huge data archive with timings, etc) in Excel with pretty tables and graphs he loved it. The more I jazzed up the data with colours and fonts the more he liked me.
He was a nice as a kitten by the time I'd finished the gig.
qh
He had a negative bluety on a quackhandle and was quadraspazzed on a lifeglug.
I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.
Just came back from a meeting with one of my clients.
Client: Regarding the lessons learnt I asked you to provide for the last project.
Me: Yes, I sent it to you, with all the information you requested.
Client: I have to send it to the business owners, it's just text. Could you put it in PowerPoint and make it a bit more colourful and maybe a few charts and graphics.
Its lessons learnt FFS, not the latest edition of the Beano.
Ooh. Make sure you include some pictures of a little stick man at the computer. Perhaps all round the edge of the powerpoint slide, as a border.
Stick a massive pie chart in the bottom centre, and put some wording underneath in very small itallic: it should be noted that the data reflected above is meaningless
