PRINT out a copy of some of her "better" memos
- leaving OFF your name/address -
and slip the copies onto HER Boss' Desk!

She could not have been in the military. She would have shot herself looking down the barrel to see if her rifle was loaded.

She ALREADY sends a copy to her boss!

Before I go on....

She is a smart gal, It's the common sense part that has her bollixed up.

I was so frustrated with her the other day I told her she reminded me of a car, with no tires, trying to make it up a hill....

She asked me, "Is that what you think?"

I told her, "NO, I know IT!!"

Give me a break! The thing I've found is the more book smarts they get, the less common sense they have. I feel your pain. I also sent you a pm.

and the problem might go away!

If not the people we work for went to the same institution of higher learning....

I had to finally tell the Huge Boss* that I found her emails to be cryptic.
-------------------------------------

We had a meeting and she pulls out a report that she had put together that would show where we were in reporting process, the Huge Boss took it out of her hand, glanced at it and said to her, "these reports are of NO use to me..."
The HB then slid the paper, back across the desk AT her.

The HB was BRUTAL to her. We now have to report weekly, instead of Biweekly.

Why? Because she took it upon herself to revamp the reports and calculate the values down to the minute...

I have modified my report to reflect the information you
need. The report numbers are sum by day, pay period and month. This format
shows more accurate OR hours and minutes. In previous format reports the
hours are converted to a number then converted back to hours, some minutes
are lost in the conversion for the cases and these value adds up at the end
of the month.

The reports she 'modified' have been in use for 17 years....and are used at 12
facilities in the state. Needless to say, that didn't last long.

I have noticed that in the recent emails being circulated, people have started to work 'around' her...

Some people were made for some jobs. This job ain't for her.

*I have a boss, big boss and huge boss and super huge boss, no reflection on them, it's the position they hold.

I would be livid

She was probably trying to make herself look good. Guess she got a huge surprise. I'm glad he roasted her butt. However, as usual, it's the peons that get the brunt of it. Sorry you'll be having more meetings. Why in the world is she a supervisor? It really chaps my hide to hear of people like this making a big salary(probably has a take home car) and can't even do a half as*ed job of it. I'm sure it made your day.
