Agency X complained to high heaven to Agency Y and Z that our organization pressurized them to do a task that they didn't want at such last minute notice. They put it in not very nice words.
Of course I got wind of it. I was quite miffed. Excuse me, I did mention that Agency X had the right of choice and could say no. If they have an issue, they should have told us that in the face and not whine to a hundred people about how overbearing we are. We simply asked a question. Never mind, I'll let it go and remember how lucky we are to have covered our asses in black and white.
Anyway, Agency X farmed out the task to Agency Y. Agency Y was fine doing it. And a line in the email made me screech with laughter and promptly shared this with the colleagues.
Agency X: We're quite busy during this period. We can't spare the manpower nor resources to do it.
Agency Y: Okay then. We're fine with it. We'll do it.
Agency X: Good. Let me know when you're doing it. We would like to sit in for that 3 hours.
Well. Well done.
