In mememe news, the place I work seems to be circling the drain of disfunctionality. They keep making business decisions that are based on ... well, who knows. I'd say either a whim, a short-term economical basis, or just plain insanity.
About 18 months ago they decided to outsource our monthly journal, which had been the main component of my job. They kept me on to manage the website and do the "few" things left of the journal. The people who now produce the journal aren't selling ads and so it gets thinner every month. And my responsibilities for it now include writing half to two-thirds of the feature stories, getting lists of new members and such into printable format, copyediting multiple proofs, managing the mailing lists and non-standard distribution, managing subscriptions and back issue sales, and getting the content on our site.
Now they're deciding to outsource publication sales, which is one of the things we do that actually makes money. In addition, one of the most popular items, which we produce in-house, is going to go from being sold to being given to members for free.
In addition, I've been having major run-ins with some of the upper-level staff, one of which involved him lying about something that came out of a meeting and my getting in trouble for doing what had been decided on (although he later decided he didn't want it done).
