hello guys.
i'm fuming!!
we are supposed to provide late cover on tuesdays and possibly wednesdays if it is required. and the supervisors are supposed to let us know a week in advance. of course they haven't. they have passed the buck from person to person, finally telling us to ask the person that was in over the weekend. that is not our job. they are supposed to work out whether they need cover and let us know. this is now the day after tomorrow, and being in my general angry frame of mind i went and said to the supervisors, look, it's me. it's the day after tomorrow. i need to know what i'm doing. at which point i got told that we should have gotten in touch with the supervisor in question and asked them. which we shouldn't. that is their job. they are there a great big bunch at a time to sort this out between them. and they haven't. they are now having to disturb the poor woman at home to ask her if she wants extra cover from IT on wednesday night. i will point out that the original email telling us to check with her wasn't actually sent to her, so she didn't know she had to tell us.
aaaargh. so i'm no longer the favourite IT person in the department, ha. still. it's about time somebody told them something like that. she actually said that they shouldn't have to be doing this. the fact is, that is their job. and they should. and everybody heard her. and now i'm still shaking i'm so angry. as if we should chase down every member of staff and ask if they need our help. that wasn't the agreement. if it had been the agreement then we wouldn't have agreed to it. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
