> That's kafkaesque.

You can't really use that term to describe a situation that is well understood and is widely recognized to be a problem (not exactly a Kafka staple). It's simply awful law, which is bad enough.

You'd expect lawmakers to just fix it, although they tend to be preoccupied with other things in the UK right now.

Kafkaesque would be...

- I don't know what my responsibilities are.

- I don't know to whom I am obligated.

- I cannot discover either.

- I am being punished for failure to deliver.

- Everything I can possibly do is not enough.

- Every 4 weeks, men in grey, face-concealing masks sedate me and graft what is possibly the upper half of a deformed baby onto my back. They cry constantly. I am not allowed to have mirrors. It has been 18 months, and I can barely lift the weight of them any more.

Sounds like your company needs some ISO 9001 love. Though with such chaos, your position is less likely to become automated ;).
