The importance of tact
Posted Mar 29, 2003
Well; I waited until I calmed down before I replied, the rest of it is excuses, this line is the essense. 
"Obviously I erred in applying myself to ensuring that systems availability was met, and informing support teams of tools required to avoid repeat occurances, in future I shall ensure the paper work is in order first."

I must not thump my boss
Posted Mar 28, 2003
I have long known that my boss is a paper-shuffling, bottom washer, and I feel personally insulted that he was chosen for the position in preference to myself, but today he has excelled himself.
Firstly, on the day that we discover there will not be a pay review, he decides to boost morale by informing some staff that because they have not yet used their holiday carry-over from last year he will be removing it.
Then, he choses to publically criticise me for failing to include an item in the morning report. No 'well done' for the 2 hours I spent resolving the probem, just him "strongly advising" me that I should be more careful not to omit items. 
Here is the text of his e-mail "Repeat incident - VI - Vantive 2719227 raised again by Steve 0517 this morning - not on the activity log , not on the morning report, obviously you did not take too much notice of the earlier email. I strongly advise you to ensure it does not happen again." 
Do you perceive that as a threat ? I do.
This from a man who abrogates his responsibility every time it means he will have to dis-agree with a more senior member of staff.
