It’s kinda funny when you find out that the root of a complain against you due to something in the past was actually the result of their own misdemeanor. One person I know keeps adding work to her already sky high mountain and that keeps her really busy and unable to finish it at all. The mountain is still high till today and things don’t get done.
So the story goes that I did a handover and the person complained I threw everything at her and didn’t do anything else. The reality was that I had to head out and called up the related people earlier and all requested follow ups after lunch. So yeah I told her, these are the cases from so and so, and I already called them up and they can only give a probable answer after lunch as they are currently running the machines and so on.
Then I went and did my own thing for a bit and prepared to head out and also for the following week’s training that was about to take place. Then I got called in later on. So that’s where I found out about the complain and also some of my net activities by another person much higher up. So yes I surf a lot and no, I have no bloody idea what the complain was about till I realised that I do know who the person in question was and naturally why too.
So fine, moving on, today I had to finish up some stuff related to the previous trainings weeks earlier and so happens that a lot of people were in. The training this week starts tomorrow and ends Friday, so yeah peeps, I’m still going to office on Friday, it’s not a holiday for me that’s for sure. Then after lunch some quick phone calls for some trainings that are going to be handled by me later on and that was practically it, our main person for the week was doing fine with the calls and none were passed to us for help.
So it turns out I got a call related to an ongoing case. The issue at hand I do not know and hence gave the usual we’re still looking into it which is true as there isn’t any solution as it just arose recently. So another person said that some part is the problem and needed to be changed. Ok so i requested other data to confirm that we need to change the part. Now the person who called me direct decided to play make them turn against one another and email her-truly and things became clear, instead of leaving it to us as an ongoing case, she gets up, starts asking questions, starts requesting data and so on. Then I realised, it’s an ongoing case, it’s not yours, why are you bothering over an e-mail when we’re already working on it to solve it. There’s the problem, when I got called in I was told, work smart, this is clearly now working smart at all, adding to ur own mountain of work and duplicating the case at the same time.
Some people shoot themselves in the foot and make it look like somebody else shot them, impossible angle but very interesting concept.
