The Good List: Things the Senior Director Apparently Didn't Want to Hear Every workplace has a "good list." Most companies use it to recognise good performance. Inside this financial chronology, however, the criteria appear somewhat more... flexible. Exhibit A: The Landowner Compensation Mystery March 2016: 🟩 Landowner compensated: £2,000 Problem resolved. Simple. September 2016: 🟥 The £2,000 apparently vanishes. 🟥 A fresh £2,000 appears as a new cost. The accounting equivalent of watching someone pull the same rabbit out of the hat twice. Exhibit B: The Award-Winning Staircase Dorchester STW delivered a truly remarkable achievement. According to the records: ❌ No handrail. ❌ No bottom step. ❌ Two NCRs. ❌ Five months late. ❌ Installed away from the design. Yet somehow this project still appears on management's "everything is fine" tour. At this point the staircase wasn't incomplete. It was practising minimalism. Exhibit C: The Incredible Shrinking Subcontractor Essendon SPS Original value: 🟩 £32,344.90 Then: 🟥 £18,078 Then: 🟥 £19,840 Then: 🟥 £21,090 Then: 🟥 Plus £17,071 variation This subcontract appears to have spent 2016 experimenting with different lifestyles. Dorchester STW Original value: 🟩 £48,164.82 Then: 🟥 £9,900 Then: 🟥 £48,164.82 Then: 🟥 Plus £25,619.70 variation At one stage nearly £40,000 appears to disappear. Thankfully it later returned home safely. Final Performance Review A subcontractor that could: ❌ miss the design, ❌ miss the programme, ❌ miss the handrail, ❌ miss the bottom step, ❌ generate NCRs, and ❌ develop shape-shifting financial values, yet still remain on the "good list." That level of confidence is inspiring. By the end of the chronology, the only thing that never appeared to fluctuate was management's faith that none of this required further explanation. Which, coincidentally, may be why the audit trail Of over Half a "Million" Pounds in dual ledgers became the most important missing item on the project.
