The Official Status Update Thread: Part 172 - Electric Boogaloo

Well, I just got my hand slapped at work.

Boss (the owner) gave me permission 2 years ago to perform a duty. Head Beancounter (VP Finance) just said I wasn't allowed to do this duty...

I'll let him do it in the future. This was a job I was doing because nobody else was doing it and it has to be done quickly when needed. So, the next time this is needed I'll send it to the Beancounter then complain to the Boss 2x a day when it isn't completed in time.

Me too! Ok, a riddle. What gets colder in the summer, and gets hotter in the winter?

 

[SEIndSAM]

Me too. and adjusting the rabbit ears. The rich people had the remotes...the ones where you would trip over the cable leading to the remote and rip it out of their hand.

I didn't have a remote, that's why I had kids....They can get up and change it.

Good eating right there! And free gas to boot.

Make sure the boss knows that the beancounter wants to do it that way. Communication!

Must be cold water???

I said that because I was the who would do it.

When ever another department heads wants me to do something I don't agree with I get it in n email then forward it to my boss.

I would likely get in trouble on something like that. I would send the beancounter an email cc:ed to the owner, apologizing for overstepping by assuming the owner had the authority to give you that task and assuming him you would never assume the owner had any authority in the future without hearing from the beancounter on the subject. I can be a smartass at times...

Spaghetti night.

And I like it! Sounds like something I would do. Hello Expat.




And hello Frenchie.

 

[chocktaw2]

I need a raise. Other CNC operator calls me on m y time off asking me to troubleshoot a problem with his machine.

Great idea...This isn't a duty I really wanted to do, but again, did it because nobody else was and the Boss said do it.

Beancounter doesn't understand I think that we are contractually obligated to answer this customer within 48 hours or there will be fines...I'll push them at Corporate to complete the task, while CYA emails will be sent. After a fine or 2 for noncompliance we will see if he feels the same way.

I'll let him do it, this isn't something worth getting into a pissing match over, I just see problems in the future.
