I is called call Piggydives not Scapegoat.
(This entry will be typed in Singlish with regards
to the Good English Movement in
Singapore)
I is very unhappy today.
1st time first lor, for the past few months, we have been telling our partners to inform their client that their publication will not work in the new release of Microsoft's Browser, IE 7.
Not only did our partner not do their jobs properly, or just too diplomatic, the client never changed their way of editing their contents, and resulted in many months of publications not working with the new versions of IE.
I did me job of complaining to our partners and asking them to get their client to do something about it. however, a certain manager in our office, being a kan cheong spider, and smart alec, decided that we can do it by asking our president to talk to them. however, the talk did not get thru and instead, the kan cheong spider and the president called the client directly, bypassing the partners.
I was called into the phone conference as they wanted me to explain the technical details to the client. which I did. After that phone call, I was to send the client a summary of our test findings. See that this affects the entire production team and engineering team, I had to cc everyone, including the engineers. This is when things got out of hand.
our partners is totally not happy that we bypassed them. instead of drafting a reply to them, kan cheong spider and president called me even when I was on the way to office. on reaching office before I even sat down, they cornered me to tell me our partners sounds unhappy. to which I told them, I expected it since we did not consult them before going to their clients directly.
the 2 nincompoops decided that I should shoulder the blame and president even used my email account and computer to send them a reply, in my name, and making it appear that it was my mistake. now I is scapegoat for the entire incident that is not caused by me. throughout the entire period, my stance had been, I have been telling our partners about the technical issues, and that they are aware. but kan cheong spider likes to poke his fingers everywhere, and now poke the wrong hole already then I become his putty to seal the hole back.
This is severely unfair and I am unhappy.
in the meantime, president wants us to put our partners as high priority in the upcoming vendors project, yet there was another project signed before this vendors project slotted in. Now there is a clash of schedules and I have to juggle it. This is getting really shitty.
I IS VERY UNHAPPY!!!
