What happens in Atlanta..
Jan. 14th, 2009 05:18 pmWhy I want a new job:
Got scolded by my second line manager for sending out a 'We're not going to make a deadline on project V" note to the voters as change control for reasons, new date, etc. Now, after being here, they're all (including second line) agreeing with me that we're not going to make deadline on project V and it's all going exactly like I said.
My manager said to someone else that he'd handle me for escalating the need for prioritization setting to an IT team, after they told me flat out that the stuff that I got flown out to Atlanta to deal with as an emergency hot hot hot issue was low priority for them.
Also was 'counseled' that I need to play nicely with the newest Kim, who I must say in a playground sort of way "She totally started it!" But she's a higher band than I am.
I think I've just been called a lousy PM by this pretty boy suit wearer, who mangled badly the integration of this org into the blue machine. Apparently I was supposed to have been more aggressive about getting answers and escalating folks.
Ya know, the irony is palpable. Damned if I'm aggressive, cursed for not being aggressive enough.
I want to work for someone else.
Narrowly avoided being poisoned by the Krab at the salad bar, which I asked them to remove. Concerned? No. They shrugged, and went and took the square out. No checking to see if anyone else had it on their plate, nothing. I'm beginning to think food poisoning is deliberate, and a way of avoiding coming to work in Atlanta.
