Recent Threads: Menial Tasks and Correct RFP Questions
Subject:Recent Threads: Menial Tasks and Correct RFP Questions From:"Karen E. Black" <kblack_text -at- hotmail -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Thu, 31 Jan 2002 11:57:08 -0500
I am typing the responses to a Request for Proposal for Strategic Sourcing,
and have learned several important lessons from reading the responses to
these two threads:
Don't complain when someone tells you how to format the typing they want you
to do for them. (You're a can-do person, and no task is menial for a team
player, and like my mother says, you can stand it for a little while. And I
do fill and start the dishwasher and wipe the counter, and pick up scraps of
paper towel in the washroom.)
Don't copyedit the RFP questions from a prospective supplier. The customer
is always right, even when they're not.
