ITT we bitch about co-workers, our boss, or customers that wear us the eff out

[yoga-like_abana]

so today i said something slightly negative about a client in an email to a coworker. and i do mean slightly, not a huge insult or anything like that but not something i would want them to see.

the mother rough rider replies to the email and adds the people from the client-side on the email, with my comment there for the world to see. what do you know, they mention it in the conference call that takes place an hour later. eff that coworker.

wow thats a pretty dick move

Dumb ass co-worker. However, you have now learned that there is no room for anything in an email that you would not share with everyone, unless you are sending it to your attorney, marked 'ATTORNEY/CLIENT PRIVILEGED' (which, I guess doesn't really mean crap, but at least you can argue that nobody else was supposed to see it...TRIM, can I get a ruling?)

'blast, next time the same dick coworker sends you an email, reply to him and add his boss to the email, then scroll down to the body of the original email and add some minor inflammatory stuff about the boss and hit send.

This is why you should always treat every email like it's a public document. That and because the government is reading them.

oh totally. it's ok because it wasn't a direct insult to the client, it was just a comment that made it sound like i was annoyed with them. and the coworker didn't really do it on purpose he probably just overlooked it. still a "what the eff, man" moment though.

So design of this one widget has taken waaay too long.  Towards the end we make some changes (I'm the PM, not the engineer).  Now we're cutting prototypes and I notice a design change didn't get implemented.  Engineer says Catia crap the bed and we're another week behind.  FML.

About 8 years ago I was sending an email to my boss about this chick that sat near near me. She wore this god awful perfume and it gave me a huge headache everyday. I begged with my boss to move her or demand that she stop wearing it. I went on to say some other distasteful things about this person. I didn't send it to my boss though, it went to her. She jumped up and scolded me and I just sat there mouth agape feeling like the worst person since Oak Park Mall was invented. She was fired a few weeks later so whatevs.

My company makes salad dressing for a certain restaurant in Kansas City. The chef has been complaining it's not thick enough. I showed him the different measurements we use to measure thickness/consistancy and that the numbers are matching up with what they want. He just looks at me and says "I don't care, it's still too thin"

 

Just add flour

Does anyone else's boss/supervisor/co-worker's call them when their office is two to four doors down from yours to ask a question?  I can hear our convo better than thru the phone.  It's to the point where I just walk into their offices when I see they call.  I mean, wut the f.

Yeah. I usually just pick up the phone and humor them, though.

I envy all you guys. Sometimes I wish I could go complain to HR when my boss calls me a stupid mother rough rider*, but I just have to sit there and take it.

*I'm not a stupid mother rough rider, my boss is quite possibly the worst manager of people in the entire world. which, causes him to be the angriest boss in the entire world because he fucks up so much.
