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

See that! This pisses me off! You need to be the one in charge there.
The world is mad. Shakin my head. I was thinking about a woman coworker, yesterday, that used to work for me and with me. A really reliable, smart woman. amaizing she was! and she would do something great and i would give her the kudos etc. and thank her etc. and she would say to me out loud and proud and i just loved it...( this was after she had done something wonderfully intelligent)
" balls said the queen if i had em i'd be king! "
Matter of fact I posted a Janis Joplin song thinking about her...I will go post
what she used to sing with me.
Cause she knew her worth and value. You know?
And let me add this, she didn't say that phrase cause she wanted balls and to be king
Far from it. This woman considered men the lesser ( in inteligence) of the human species.

It would be in your companies best interest to fire that dude and give you his position. Sorry for the rant but that stuff pisses me off! People should be reimbursed for their work...not their gender.

I pray that upper management wakes up and manages to implement that change for you!
