Just got word we have to terminate grants by COB today
This should be fun. Everyone's either already off today because it's their compressed day or they've gone home because most of my group starts early. Upper management tell us to terminate these specific grants (5 grants worth $125M total) at 3pm and expect it to be done by 5pm. No reason why and no rhyme as to why these grants.Doesn't matter that no one's here to actually do it. Doesn't matter that the government can't legally terminate grants unilaterally unless the grantee is in material noncompliance. Doesn't matter that our system isn't set up to approve an action without a 2nd person signing off on it (you know, separation of responsibilities.... so one person doesn't have unilateral authority to approve millions of dollars on their own).So I'm calling in contractors ($$) on their day off ($$$) to make a system wide change ($$$$) so that we can cancel a few random grants. All of which means the government will get sued ($$$$$) and we'll lose ($$$$$$) and we'll be right back where we started but we'll have to reissue these grants all over again ($$$$$$$). Totally efficient.
