Me and the guvner have just picked up a national project from 2 arse-wipe useless project managers (1 promted one left) which has been known of for 2 years but is now due for delivery within 6 months. Don't you just love the thought of abusing such dick-heads?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2875778102529849597.post-74331408474342192702010-01-18T17:53:45.763+00:002010-01-18T17:53:45.763+00:00Raise the Santa incident as your bosses idea of ho...Raise the Santa incident as your bosses idea of how to dissemminate information.

This is a fair point, although I wouldn't raise it too aggressively.<br /><br />If they didn't do it then that shares some of the blame with them and takes a lot of the heat off you and the boss. If they did send some information to the boss and she never shared the it with you then that (deservedly) puts most of the blame on her without you actually needing to blame her explicitly in the meeting.<br /><br />The risk is that she did pass the information to you some time ago but it was so garbled that you didn't recognise it as being pertinent. If that is the case then it could turn into a "he said, she said" argument that makes you both look bad.<br /><br />I guess the big question is this: Can the boss put on a good show of normality and competence when she really tries or will she immediately come across as semi-detached once they start asking difficult questions?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2875778102529849597.post-17726485849463180652010-01-16T14:39:38.040+00:002010-01-16T14:39:38.040+00:00Cheers folks - S, yeah, I guess she's going to...Cheers folks - S, yeah, I guess she's going to have to, actually thinking about that has made me a lot less worred! :)silent koalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564867238517209703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2875778102529849597.post-49161565438649197112010-01-15T21:41:06.949+00:002010-01-15T21:41:06.949+00:00Oh my poor baby Koala!

I completely empathise having just avoided a disciplinary hearing because of a senior manager's fuck up and subsequent generous and inventive blame-sharing. I had to agree to a counselling session to get out of the full disciplinary procedure - it happened today and I have drink taken this evening, let's put it like that.<br /><br />I suppose this situation was always heading for some cataclysm but I really can't believe that you'll be the one to come off worse. I mean, she'll have to, like, talk at this meeting, won't she?Snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2875778102529849597.post-31466676625778479952010-01-15T21:15:16.287+00:002010-01-15T21:15:16.287+00:00Man, that sucks!
