ravena_kadeYesterday I negotiated a car lease for my Dad in a conference call. That was interesting. We picked up the new car today. He had seen it before so he knew what he wanted. I got it to $14 less than what he paid for the last lease. He leases cars as he is making enough $$ now for a monthly payment, but does not have credit cards in case of a big repair...so everything is taken care of with the lease...and there is no fight to try and use my credit cards. It took a couple hours on my part yesterday and I was very tired after.
Yesterday I was gifted with some wonderful delivered meals frommalterre and fbhjr. That you so much. I really appreciate your kindness. We had American Meatloaf last night and it was tasty =)
Today there was a meeting at work where I find out, once again, that they are taking more of my diverse work away, and want me to be a full time dinosaur. Sigh. I was not allowed to speak in the meeting as I was told there was no timed. Hmmm... what ever. COWARDS.
Then after the meeting the team leader asks me to take something over on Tuesday and says that 2 of my former coworkers can help with questions. Well I have questions but the 2 coworkers have no idea what I am talking about. I sent an email to the team lead with a copy of the coworkers responses and said that I dont mind doing what you request, its just that I dont know how and I have no idea where the reports are so I can try and figure it out over the weekend. I really want to work but have a hard time if I am always kept in the dark. What is going on? I got a phone call. We spoke for half an hour. It seems that while teh Boston Boss doesn't want to talk to me...as she doesn't want to deal with my bluntness... the team leader wrote the request like I had been a part of the meetings and so skipped all the info I needed. I asked her to look at her request and tell me from that how am I to know what to do?
I said that I am sorry for being rather frank here, but I cant work in the dark I have no Idea what Pam has told you about me, but I will tell you I am not a fan of guessing games.
We ended up going through the account and what they wanted to do has some flaws in it from an audit perspective. I told her I was bringing the flaws to her attention because I know she is new to these types of accounts. I want her to know what is what before she agrees to anything. I don't want her walking off a cliff because she didn't know any better. I said after this if you still want to do this your way I am okay with it, because when audit comes to me I say this is what my boss told me to do. She agreed that the easy way would not pass an audit and opened us up to risk. She even thanked me and said that the other coworkers didn't tell her this. I said no, that they wouldn't because they figure you and the Boston Boss are bosses and YOU are to tell them what to do. They don't think. I think...I may think too much, but that is only because I want a strong team... it doesn't matter how much is taken away from me, that is who I am. She apologized about not including me, but she was told that I wasn't needed. Yeah.
They may want me to be a dinosaur... thats not who I am no matter what crap I have to do.
I also don't think Im in line for a lay off....if they lay me off then they can't hire for my position. If I quit they can bring someone they like in. Im not quitting in a pandemic.
I just need to get the team lead to not act like the Boston boss. Im a better soldier with communication.

Date: 2021-01-16 02:09 pm (UTC)I feel bad for going off on her, but I don't want people to think I like working in the dark...and that I am just as smart as anyone on the team I was kicked off of.
