Bob Slydell
Director of DOWPA

Bob Slydell

At DOWPA, our mission is simple: to enhance workplace morale, streamline operations, and ensure every task is performed with maximum efficiency and compliance. We recognize that a happy, productive office thrives on clear guidelines, structured engagement, and well-documented enthusiasm. That is why we remain dedicated to developing comprehensive protocols that not only support workplace harmony but also ensure that every aspect of your daily activities from collaboration to celebration is properly reviewed, approved, and, most importantly, filed accordingly.

We understand that change can be challenging, but rest assured, DOWPA is here to guide you through every step, with detailed documentation, procedural frameworks, and the occasional mandatory training session. Together, we can create a workplace that is not just efficient, but also thoroughly accountable.

Dom Portwod
CBFE Compliance Director

Dom Portwood

As Associate Director of Compliance & Procedural Efficiency, Dom Portwood is committed to ensuring that every policy, regulation, and obscure subsection of the employee handbook is enforced- whether it makes sense or not. With a keen eye for detail, Dom takes pride in maintaining workplace synergy through excessive documentation and strategically vague memos. Known for his ability to deliver bad news with a reassuring nod, Dom excels at making every directive sound like a gentle suggestion-until it isnt. His contributions to DOWPA include the Cubicle Air Quality Monitoring Initiative and the "Friendly" Reminder Email Policy, ensuring that employees always feel just enough pressure to comply.

Bill Lumbergh
Documentation Director

Bill Lumbergh

As Director of Documentation, Bill Lumbergh brings his signature level of enthusiasm and micromanagement to ensuring that every TPS report, memo, and compliance form is accounted for, preferably with the correct cover sheet. With years of experience in leadership, Bill specializes in optimizing workflows through bureaucracy, redundancies, and of course, mandatory Saturday meetings. Under his direction, DOWPA has pioneered such innovations as the Multi-Tiered Approval Process for Stapler Requests. While his door is always open (as long as you file a Meeting Initiation Request Form (MIR-9) in advance), employees are strongly encouraged to just go ahead and come in on Sunday, too. Thatd be great.
