| >> Incompetent & Insecure! Look out! | [ Fools ] |
Colorado Native lets out some frustrations working in a company where a fool is out to get you...
"I work for a utility company. I am a computer guy. That should tip you off that I have issues already.
I have created a payroll system that is replacing one that was written in arcane language on unsupported hardware. Trying to get these narrow minded incompetent fools to get on board with the new stuff is worse than pulling teeth. I had wisdom tooth extraction earlier this year and I would prefer doing it again (demerol is Coooooolll).
Just to show how insecure the manager of accounting is... and how incompetent... here are two brief stories of what I have to deal with:
The manager wrote a letter to our board of directors dercrying my employment as a nepotistic move on the part of our president (my father-in-law). By the way, I wasn't married to his daughter when I started here but I was her significant other for years before.
She attacked me personally in this note, though the letter was about the president... saying I have taken too long and spent all this money and they have seen nothing. That doesn't take into account the three other applications I've written, the computer network I set up, the voice mail system ~I~ programmed and installed...
NEXT! I tried to give them directions on how to use these new applications I've written and the screenshots/arrows directions were replaced with 'click OK three times' followed by 'enter the date with dashes' followed by 'see if the date is in the list and then click OK twice'.
So... to be a jerk... why don't I modify the application so that it says 'Continue' instead of 'OK'... ??
Hey... maybe I am incompetent but I'm not writing letters to the board saying that other people are idiots! Talk about insecure."
