re: People that get mad at you when you point out and correct their mistakes... Wtf

My clerk stapled all my reports for a meeting today as if the reports were in "portrait" when it's actually printed in "landscape". It's not rocket science that the report should flip from the top left in landscape and not the bottom left. And when I point it out, she gets pissed like I did something wrong...

Only time i've ever been formally written up (i'm 48 years old) at a job is when someone who works with me frickED UP every time we had a deploy and made roughly 100 people look bad each time.

i got sick of it and called her out because we had told her 'not to touch anything' yet each time she did.

i took away her access and was written up for (a) harrassing her by asking her in a meeting to admit what she did and (b) for taking away her access to the buttons she was mashing that was screwing up our code deploy.



lesson learned. i just kept my mouth shut after that and found a way to move to another team.
