12string Posted December 21, 2020 Share #1 Posted December 21, 2020 since last Tuesday!!!!! So, Saturday morning at 7AM, I get an email............. No, not kidding. Asking if I had completed a specific task. The answer to which he would have known by looking in the database. Where he signed off on my completion of sad task 2 weeks ago. Or by reading any of dozens of emails detailing the completion and implementation. And I thought I was going to miss him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsharr ★ Posted December 21, 2020 Share #2 Posted December 21, 2020 yay. my boss has a tendency to ask for data, get it, forget he has it, etc and ask for it again. Today I was able to hand him a packet of documents within minutes of his request and tell him this is what I gave you last time you asked me for it.

JerrySTL ★ Posted December 21, 2020 Share #3 Posted December 21, 2020 I was 6000 miles too close to one of my bosses. Monthly we would compile a large report but he would constantly ask for bits of info which was in the report. I told him it's all in the report but he said that he didn't have time to go through all of it. I told him in that case, I'll quit doing the damned report and answer his questions as he asked them. He didn't see the humor in that and gave me a somewhat poor performance report. Probably cost me a promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My boss regularly prints out complicated spread sheets and then asks where this number or that number came from..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12string Posted December 21, 2020 Author Share #6 Posted December 21, 2020 I could just flood his email with spam. In a matter of hours, he'll run out of ink in his printer, and with no IT people at his house, he won't be able to read my emails. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we got upgraded to 100 MB, now our email is on Microsoft servers, we have a total of 1TB of storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also get Visio and Project. I'm going to cancel Project as I never use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
