What A Screwed up Day!!!
Its another day of daily routine job again, but today on 10th July 2007 is a so-called ‘special’ day...
Working in G*** Company is not as easy as anyone thinks, some people may view working there just like almost do nothing, give commands/orders, sit back and drink coffee to relax kind of job. Nope, absolutely not!
Our Organisation may seem just as delicious as it looks on the outside, just like a Hamburger. But We are just a piece of something in the middle of a Hamburger, let you guess which part of the middle of the Hamburger we are later at the bottom after you go through the situation below and I’m quite sure some of you experiences similar situation.
We as Engineers handle customers (those upstairs) more than we handling system and machines… We had a hard time to deal with them…
Due to upcoming event, everyone from the upstairs seems to be over excited and planned this and that, giving us all the work to do. Its normal to have work to do, of course, we have no complaints as it’s a routine to do all the necessary work.
The upstairs happily scheduled roaster for us to standby during the weekends, we are still ok up to this stage since its part and parcel of our job to standby when necessary, BUT the upstairs sent email to all parties who are involved for the event EXCEPT us!!
The 1st thing in our mind, are we supposed to standby during the weekends since we did not receive the email order. You may wonder how we know we need to standby at later stage. We are informed and forwarded by our neighbour that we had this standby. If you may think this is still ok, it’s alright, we actually can accept it too since (upstairs) have scheduled us for the work.
BUT the upstairs have all sorts of different requirements and details fly here and there while we are left outside of the loop without knowing what actually was going on. We were then at almost last minute stage, be informed by the upstairs of the requirements they want and they demand us to react according to their decisions without taking due diligent on the end user side for their usage concerns. We as ENGINEERS have stated out the end user concerns and the impact the users going to face when the upstairs executed their decisions. BUT the upstairs still will not give a damn concern on the end users and our Professional advise (as we know the system inside out) and still want to execute their actions.
Sometimes I wonder, why they hire professionals such as us, the ENGINEERS, to manage the system as the upstairs, so-called CONSULTANTS, decide on things they know less than us such as limitations on the system, didn’t trust our professional advices and still go on ahead to proceed executing the things they want!
They want to see the things they want cannot work by their own eyes rather than trusting our Professional advices and make every single party involving in the event, a very Hard time and inconvenience until they are happy to see the things don’t work…
And usually every year before the actual event, we’ll be requested to go to site for testing to ensure all systems functions properly and ready to operate when the actual event arrives. In this way, we can save lots of troubles and problems which may arise and be prepared if there’s any screwed ups.
But this year, we were not informed to do any testing on site… See Below…
We as Engineers, forgot to say, we also are CONTRACTORS have not much say to overwrite their decisions, so we execute their decisions. What’s more, their decisions was so last minute till we had to inform the end users of the impact even when its around 2am in the dawn!! What the hell!!!!
What do we get after we executed the upstairs decisions? Shits!! PROBLEMS and COMPLAINTS from end users everywhere!! Phones ringing throughout the day!!
So what happen in the end?? Upstairs still deciding if want to revert everything back to normal places so that the whole thing can be done smoothly.
What a screwed ups and a bunch of low EQ and IQ idiots (upstairs)!!
Do they know how to communicate (EQ) well with people?? Someone or somebody got to teach them some manners and attitudes and not using their high posts to abuse their powers to overwrite things they like and want… Every game has its rules and regulations, please play them right and in order, not a MESS.
CUSTOMERS COME FIRST BUT CUSTOMERS NOT ALWAYS RIGHT!
THEY ARE RIGHT ONLY WHEN THEY ARE REASONABLE ENOUGH!!
So which part of the middle of the Hamburger are we??
Are we the meat?? Nope, we are not as delicious as the meat because WE (the persons) are not the main role of the Organisation although OUR SYSTEM is.
Are we the cheese?? Nope, we are not as delicious as cheese too because we are not as worthy as the upstairs think we are. To them, we are just high paid Bangladesh doing ‘easy jobs’ while they do not know the whole lot of things not a normal person can handle.
Then what are we??
We are the VEGETABLES!! Almost less tasty than meat and cheese!! Maybe no taste at all!! But why we are vegetables??
Because we take all the shits the upstairs want to do and do it for them. We also take all the shits from the end users for the complaints they experience. What do Vegetables good at??
YUP, That’s right!! Vegetables produce fibers to process ALL THE SHITS!! Else if the vegetable not functioning properly, you know what happens… Only Inputs and no Outputs…
What an Idiotic day, thanks to all those Upstairs!!
