Speaking Impudnence
Oct. 26th, 2005 12:42 pmWarning, meatworld ranting ahead!
So I work in a very small office, but that doesn't mean I really know everyone yet. We have a new Production Control Asst. Manager, who I really never got a chance to talk to much, but I had a pretty decent opinion of her....until yesterday.
We had one problem at work that Shipping had some responsibility for, and one that I hoped they might have some insight into. I issued the paperwork for them to find out what went wrong and the Asst. Manager threw a huge hissy fit. In her opinion her department isn't responsible for anything and the rest of the company is very badly run, which somehow is mostly my fault.
Her: Well, I'll fill out the paperwork, but you won't like it.
Me: Then I'll just come back again.
Her: Well I won't change it, you just won't like my answers. I'll just write down what it says in the Quality Manual.
Me: That's fine, that's what you should do.
Because I've actually read the Quality Manual and I know that it calls out for Shipping to double check boxes before they ship them, to make sure the right part is inside. The QC Manual says to, and so do the work instructions. I have her dead to rights, and I came to work SO ready to take her on (in a friendly and respectful way, of course) and prove my point.
And she's not even here today! Grr! Argh! I am thwarted! And I even put on eye makeup for confidence. (Eyeliner is the warpaint of modern times, dontcha know)
