HILL 10 MAKERS

A "Hill 10" is slang for a situation that has been worsened by delay
or false reports or hat dumps or non-compliance and becomes a mad rush
by other persons or a senior to handle.

HILL 10s are made by someone, always. Usually the situation was known
in time to handle easily but not-dones, half-dones or false reports
make it necessary for another to handle at breakneck speed to avert a
catastrophe.

The "too little, too late" of PR events is an example.

The failure to keep a proper admin or finance record and then when the
lack is crucial dumping it on another to do with little time left to
do it in its another instance of a Hill 10.

INVESTIGATION

Usually Hill 10s in an area are caused over and over again by the same
person.

It is necessary, when a Hill 10 occurs, and has been fully handled, to
investigate and find whose not-done, half done or false or alarming
report caused it.

When the person is identified he should be given a Court of Ethics
with the miminum penalty (whatever else is assigned) of 50 hours
amends on his own time preferably devoted to hard mest work and/or
handling existing backlogs. This may give him the idea of what he is
doing to his fellow staff members or seniors.
