[RANT PORTION]
My boss and I both hate her boss's guts. The boss-boss is an imcompetent without peer, a worthless POS yes-woman who couldn't manage her way out of a paper bag.
Anyway, about 6 months ago boss-boss tasks me with a federal agency mandated requirement, a task which if not done correctly would subject our company to a desist-operations order, which in the business world is not a very good thing to have happen. Just to make it that much more fun for me to accomplish this task, when the agency to which we're submitting this requirement sends around someone to advise how to do it, she decides that it's far more important for her administrative assistant to attend the meeting rather than the person actually doing the work (me). That person quit shortly thereafter, so I have to get all the info on what needs to be accomplished third hand.
So onto the work at hand. Several hundred work hours later, I produce my report. The boss-boss takes the end product and completely rewrites the whole thing on my behalf, of course without letting me know (or replacing my name with hers on the report before she sends it in to the commission which required it).
Now several months pass. Mr. Government Agent is evidently not pleased with the boss-boss version of my report. He slaps a fairly large fine on the firm, and sends it back to (guess who) for rewrite. There's more red "edit this" marks on the document than there is original text. Boss-boss comes back to me and asks me to make the necessary changes. Upon review and making the changes, the updated document is (remarkably enough) almost a perfect match for my original version. Cut-n-paste is my friend, updated document production time = slightly under 2 hours. Time alloted for project = 3 weeks. [/RANT OVER]
Cliff's Notes: My boss's boss sucks. She made changes to my work product, and because of her incompetence the fvckuped changes she made she cost the company a ton of money. Once her changes to my original work product were removed, the result was 99.9% of what the product consumer wanted. Since all I needed to do was undo her changes to unfvck the project, I'm done 3 weeks early.
