On a slightly different although equally sour note, let’s talk about my supervisor. I hesitate to refer to him as my “boss” since he really has no decision making power regarding what I work on. What he does do, is take care of filtering higher level information (payment questions, policy information, etc.) to my boss. Herein lies the problem. He doesn’t do it very well. It’s a sad comment when I need to tell the client, “Yeah, you might want to call him and light a fire under him.” It’s even sadder when a client says, “We never did recieve an answer on the question we sent about X 3 months ago.”

Then there’s the repeating theme of “Here’s my time estimate for the requested work so you can give the client a quote”
Two months later when the client asks about it again, “Can you give me that again?”

Damn I need another job.
