The idiocy of the person I work for at job #2.

He allows our IT consultants, who get paid a gazillion dollars,to go waayyyyy over the deadline for delivering their product.

*EYEROLL*

But when it comes time to test said product, before taking it live and sending it out to our clients for use, he wants to rush through it in less than a day and doesn't understand how incredibly important it is to go through a methodical and thorough test process to ensure our clients are charged the appropriate amount and that it functions as it should.

All this rushing through, despite the fact that we had serious issues with payments, refunds and balances on student accounts last year, despite the fact that his program ran a deficit because of his inability to communicate and his refusal to pay attention to small details like COSTS, and despite the fact that the only thing that saved his ass was my meticulous record keeping and basic accounting skills that enabled me to unravel most of the mysteries. (Me - his long term temp getting paid less than the grad students he hires to do data entry)

His motto and method are to forge forward foolhardily and deal with fuckups later ... mainly because he doesn't actually have to handle the fall out.



I require some
