dammit.. my manager misunderstands the term "mission critical"

[phatcow]

he seems to think a legal disclaimer when employees log on fits into the mission critial group of things to do.

anyone have any other suggestions to show him the definition of mission critical?

I guess it all depends on the mission.

Seriously, choose your battles. This one probably isn't worth fighting. It'd be much easier to just do what he wants instead of arguing over semantics. Wait for a real issue before putting up a fight.

nah.. it was more like he calls me up saying i fuqed up our BDC while HE was on vacation.

Definition for: mission-critical system

A system that is critical to the functioning of an organization and the accomplishment of its mission.

Well, no duh.

 

[djheater]

Being able to define something as mission critical begs the creation of a mission statement.

Ask him where in the mission statement or his perceived mission of the company a legal disclaimer fits in.


I agree he's a fvcking tool.

Damn all the managers.... Damn them to hell.

Tell him he's "thinking on the back of the wave".

I had a manager use that on me once. I laughed at him.
