After a nearly two-year delay, I present the last unopened Android Collectible in the @Work series: Teacher / Counselor / Consultant. Why not sooner? I looked for something in the news that seemed appropriate for presenting the droid. But nothing piqued my sense of story. So, we advance without one.
Closest thing would be a conversation yesterday, with someone I can’t reveal from a non-profit I can’t identify because the conversation wasn’t meant for public disclosure. However, I can say this: A consultant brought on to take the role of a fired employee wants to make big changes, including outsourcing significant customer service operations overseas. For this organization, that’s an abominably stupid suggestion, or even official recommendation, to make. Fire the bum.
But don’t pinkslip this fine Android Collectible. He’s wise beyond his years. If you’re looking something like him, please hop on over to Dead Zebra.
