Sometimes I hate my job.

Question -- is there any individual who does NOT hate his/her job sometimes?

Your manager or project manager or whoever is a real chicken****, though. One of my few cardinal rules as an employer is that anyone who blames a subordinate is out the door.

Even if it's the subordinate's "fault" - the manager/supervisor is responsible for his people.

My attitude is fix the problem, make sure it doesn't happen again, but don't come whining to me about how it's so and so's fault you can't manage people or jobs.

Why isn't this obvious to people? So many more people would be successful in their positions if they took responsibility with their staffs. The flip side is that they must also hold their saffs accountable for their performance. When used hand-in-hand I have never seen them fail.

Oredin, Try making a habit out of sending an e-mail to you boss upon completion of your work at a job site. Something like: "Persuant to the summary you provided me with, I have completed the following tasks:

(list tasks performed)

Please advise if any further action is required at this site"

Good Luck with it. Sometimes how you react to a reprimand can be very telling to those that control your future. Chances are that they know who is really at fault and will make it up to you later if you work through it well.

I love mine - both the consulting and the software company.

I take **** from noone, I don't kiss any body's ass, I tell them the way things are, and if they can't handle the truth, **** 'em, here's my bill anyway.

I get paid to fix things and make them work, so there's real clear feedback as to whether I've done my job or not.

The more I know about you, the more you sound like my father
