I feel like I just survived a car crash
chris and i had the hugest fight with a coworker that lasted most of the day and i was just in tears all day.
then at like 730 or so chris went to talk to him and he screamed at chris in front of everyone on the other side of the office. we were supposed to meet w my boss today about stuff - i was so pissed off i packed my office. theres no reason that we should be treated like this - we do damn good work here.
im gonna tell my boss- i can't work like this - this coworker's demanding we do things for his project only.... he never told us we had to encode three videos (which takes a good chunk of time, especially when he tells us NOW with not even a weeks notice on a non-priority band that he needs it asap and its not planned in the sched.) but we just got done with this major project for him (creating a whole epk from raw footage) and updating this microsite, creating a player with five songs and making a eblast that links to everything... that all took time! meanwhile i'm the only one here and i have to push back every other project to work on this one..
its as if he's expecting me to manage his projects and blaming me for not - i dont have these kinds of problems with any of the other pms
My boss should be overseeing my projects but is instead too busy with meetings, door shut, out on the road with band, etc
it is a very frustrating situation - so this coworker sends "great you just wasted three hours of my time" in an email - pretty ballsy after i just spent three days and both computer resourses on his project and put all the other pms on ignore
plus after chris spent two weeks - and also another co workers time on working on that epk too - thats all time we had to juggle other shit to work on his stuff
since they dont have a big budget for outsoursing then in that case, sorry then you'l have to wait for us to do it
i mean seriously... he complained that that epk took a month to do! ok lets break that down - we had a new machine and didn't know we were missing software and didn't know we were gonna run out of space until we got into using it - so ok we lost a few days of mac time - then we had like a week or so learning curve trying to learn the new software ... ok... so really we spent like two weeks on that epk - working at it daily... and a certain pushy coworkers going to complain about that? it would have cost him at least 10k in editing / studio time to do what we did
its ungrateful of him to shit on our hard work
i really dont know what he wants anymore other then to bully us - i just hate the way we get treated; as if nothings ever good even though we always go above and beyond.
im not going to cry over it like i did yesterday anymore. i am going to get mad now and be indifferent and if they dont appreciate what i do then i'll go find another job that will - plain and simple
