Lt. Cmdr Ch'Nilmani - New Responsibilities (2 of 2)
Diz'mim Ch'Nilmani
(( Observation lounge - USS Constitution-B ))
With the commodore gone, Herren and Ch'Nilmani gave the newly
promoted their full attention. There was still responsibilities to
hand out.
Herren: Now then. I’m sure you’re all curious what all being an
assistant chief entails. Or a chief, although the two of you ::She
nodded to T’Seva and Azura:: already know what is involved.
Park: Yes, please!
Ch’Nilmani: With this promotion, you will be handed not only a lot
of responsibility but a lot of power. You'll be expected to be in
tune and run things when the Chief is unavailable.
Herren: Exactly, most of our chiefs are very busy people. As you
can see by how not here they are. So there are tasks that will
fall to you all. Sir?
The Andorian nodded, his antenna bouncing along.
Ch’Nilmani: Proceed, Commander.
Herren: Those of you who know me well will be unsurprised by the
present I have for you all. PADDwork. I know this is thrilling
stuff, but please try to contain your excitement.
Like a set of cards, the PADDs began to be passed out.
Herren: For you, Lieutenant Commander.
T’Seva: Thank you.
Herren: Here you go, chief science officer.
Ada: Thank you, Commander.
Herren: Welcome to department leadership, enjoy your new PADDwork.
Diz'mim watched. One thing that was an open secret among the
higher ranks was the amount of paperwork that Starfleet wanted and
expected. These reports were the lifeblood of knowing what was
going on. Even if they were painful to write up.
T’Ama: Response
Herren: Congratulations Indrid. Although you’ll have to share with
your new chief.
Yirah: Response
Herren: And for you, doc.
Park: Thanks!
With that done, Herren continued which was something he was glad
for and had discussed in their earlier meeting. When it came to
paperwork, Diz'mim did not do well with it. Herren seemed to love
it so why not let her do it?
Herren: Ensign Ba’el… guess your department head had a conflict as
well. Unfortunately, I don’t have any paperwork for you.
Ba’el: Response (if any)
Herren: Despite our best efforts, we can’t keep eyes and ears
everywhere and complete personnel reviews can be too infrequent
and too shallow to find and foster talent in every department. On
each of your PADDs you’ll find service records and performance
reviews for many officers in your department who may not have been
promoted for a while. You work with these people day in and day
out. Maybe there is a reason, or maybe they’ve fallen through the
cracks. As department leadership, you can help bring these people
to our attention and help them get the recognition and promotions
they deserve. You can also promote your own people as chief. ::She
looked to the newly-minted assistant chiefs.:: Or on your chief’s
behalf.
Ch'Nilmani: Remember, when considering promotions, instead of just
thinking about rewarding good work also think about what the
officer will contribute to Starfleet. You not only have power of
their career but you will affect the future of starfleet with whom
you select.
Anyone: response
Herren: You also should not be surprised that I’ve called down to
the Saloon to have this meeting catered. Congratulations to all
our new department leadership!
Park: Thank you! ::looking at the others:: And congratulations!
Anyone: Response
(( OOC: I'm removing the convo with Ellie and the newly
promoted as they would move outside of Diz'mim's focus. This
conversation is happening as there's is. ))
Ch'Nilmani: That appears to have gone well. No one freaked out.
Herren: response
Ch'Nilmani: I don't know about you but when someobody made the
decision to promote me to Lieutenant Commander, I had said "What?
Are you joking? What's wrong with you?".
Herren: response
Wasn't thinking at all. I lucked out my CO had a great sense of
humor.
Herren: response
