A few weeks ago, I stayed in the office until just after 9pm completing 7 major changes for a application used nationwide by our company. My reward for my efforts? A email saying 'since you did so great on the last changes, we had a meeting earlier today and comprised these 13 changes, when can you have it ready?' ... really? Okay. Then I get our head salesman upstairs pounding me for a program to be used in four companies that use different systems, but wants my program to be plug an play for each. Mind you, I've never seen three of the plants systems. Oh and he needs this three weeks ago. We're adding a second fab line to kill a total of 5,000 cattle daily instead of 2,400 and my download manager program needs to accommodate this extra line and produce duplicate files with archiving for a month. blah blah ... to that I say WTF!!
Oh, the tasks don't bother me, it's the extra tasks and I'm at the same entry level salary I started more than two years ago. 🙂
