Re: The cranky thread
Esteemed coworker:
Whereas-
you routinely forget your own meetings and rely on engineering to remember them for you;
you are so poorly organized that you fail to bring important opportunities to our attention in a timely manner;
you expect engineering to drop whatever they're doing and meet the submissions deadlines for those opportunities anyway;
you have repeatedly failed to credit engineering for their efforts in these matters;
you can nevertheless be counted on to report any and all mistakes committed by engineering to your superiors, clearly intending to shift blame away from yourself;
The Engineering Department-
declines to assist you with your personal meeting schedule henceforth;
refuses to create technical specifications for your opportunities with less than 24 hours' notice, lest they be improperly checked for error;
will report to your superiors every mistake you ever make, with the eventual goal of having you disciplined or terminated.
Most sincerely,
Engineering.
