I was a desktop/web applications programmer under a "project manager" who had previously been an content editor, but schmoozed the clients well enough that she was able to sell projects. Our company felt that sales people should also manage the technical folks, so she became a technical manager, without understanding the first thing about what I did. She took credit for MY work - Literally - she would take my name off of specs and reports and put her name on them, without changing a word. She would blame her mistakes on me to our customers, which is incredibly unprofessional whether I made the mistake or not - if she is my manager isnt' she responsible for any mistakes that came out of our little department?
I ended up going to the division manager about her, who looked into it and reprimanded her. So she wrote me up for all these mistakes she made - literally she wrote me up for technical mistakes SHE made. I refused to sign the write up and gave my notice at that time. --Beth, Pseudo usenet cop Merlin MTB, BikeE AT, RANS gliss, Trek R200, Kickbike Owned by Kavik (Samoyed Boy) Anchorage, Alaska ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan Phillips" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2002 10:15 AM Subject: RE: Quiet today? > So while we are kinda on the subject... > > What's the worst technology job people on this list have ever had? > > ~ Dan > > -----Original Message----- > From: Nick McClure [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2002 2:13 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: RE: Quiet today? > > > Well see there you go. > > At 11:04 AM 1/15/2002 -0800, you wrote: > >I don't work at an internet company > >I work at an oil refinery > >:-) > > > >-----Original Message----- > >From: Nick McClure [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > >Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2002 11:05 AM > >To: CF-Community > >Subject: RE: Quiet today? > > > > > >Oh, I didn't know internet companies were allowed to have any of those > >people. > > > >At 10:58 AM 1/15/2002 -0800, you wrote: > > >Accounting and finance people - running stuff through spreadsheets etc., > > >crunching the raw numbers into financial reports.
