Today at work blows. I think everybody does things wrong, they are told about it so they can improve their skills and methods they use to do their job.
Anyways... this morning around 10am I get called into a meeting because I forgot to back up the server. Our server was down, so I couldn't back it up. Well, the tape drive was on the fritz but regardless.... It was my fault and I admitted to it.
So in this meeting, they start telling me in addition to screwing up the tape drive backup (one thing) that I've done things wrong over and over and over again. I get this line "I keep hearing you mess up your projects" and I'm like... okay... nobody ever told me so this is the first time I'm hearing about it.
But I guess I got a bit intelligent because I realized that my supervisor was getting reamed from the owner, and he usually takes it out on me -- this is no different. So I ask him -- "What exactly have I done wrong in the past 3 months aside from this backup today?"
NOTHING. He couldn't think of ONE THING. My other supervisor (I have 4 supervisors, the owner being one of them *sigh*) couldn't either. "Well how about the time!!! -- oh yea, that wasn't you" "Oh but you -- oh, no you didn't..." This went on for like 5 minutes until they just said that "we know you've done stuff wrong and THAT'S THAT.
Now I can understand getting yelled at for doing something wrong -- I admitted it to the backup. But why do you start lumping things on me that I did *not* do and just accuse???
GRRRR. Just a really irritating day today. Did I mention the head of the IT dept (one of my supervisors) is 450+ lbs (literally) and the owner has obsessive compulsive disorder, and pulls you off importnat work to 'organize a box properly'?
Open ended.. feel free to comment.
