I had a poopy day at work. POOPY I say!

I know I'm a grown woman, and using the word "poopy" probably isn't the most mature thing. But it's the only word I can use without resorting to swearing like a sailor.

Story: I prepare reports every month that determine what commission of our sales a particular company gets. I always send this report to my bosses for approval before I send to accounting. The trouble is....I usually have to send the report to them once and get no response, then wait a few days and send again with a little prompting that I need a response before they'll get back to me. I did this same routine this month. Finally one boss responds, and lets me know that the report looks great! I decide to wait a little longer for the other boss to respond. Nothing. I really need to send this in. Finally, I decide not to wait any longer and send it to accounting.

THEN my second boss responds! In essence, he tells me of about 4 different things I need to take into account with this report. ALL of them are news to me. One of the deductions to the commission comes from a term I've never heard of before.

Why the hell wasn't this told to me before?!? I'm not a mind reader people! If I am to do these things properly, I need to know when you've made special deals with people!

Grrr.....

Maybe I'm out of line. I don't know. I just wish I was kept in the loop better.

1. I don't think you're out of line. Your bosses get paid to do their jobs, just like

you do. The second boss wasn't doing his, and should be taken to task.

2. He's the VP

He wins by default.

But thanks for the vote of confidence.

3. Yeah, but that still doesn't make him right, so you're not out of line :) n/t

No, seriously I know we all have to take jobs not to our liking to make a living! Your experience just highlights the injustice of the times we live in.
