All in a day’s work

One of the best things about working for a big corporation is that you get to see real life examples of the Peter Principle in action. For example, I actually really received this as a note on a design I’m working on for a couple people very high up in our company:

Add a search result to the bottom of the list that represents a community contribution. The price should be “free”. See “Microfinance – community content” below for content. You should not elongate the page, but rather shrink the “Source” column and those graphics to as small as possible, and enlarge the “Summary” column. That should give you enough room.

Yes. Yes it should. If I were designing a book, poster or flyer, rather than a website. Sigh.
