A while back, I started a thread about the ridiculous politics at my place of employment, how I was kept in a vacumm, designed the interiors of the project, then was told to hand everything off to someone else…
well…
I’ve sunk into the background, my conceptual ideas were maintained, but my designs were pushed aside for some half-arsed pseudo-victorian garbage. After weeks of fighting, voicing my opinions, criticizing, etc…I decided to keep my mouth shut, and just play along. Let them have the lead, go ahead, present that, How can I help you?
well…
the client comes in yesterday, two day before we need to present it to the big board, hated everything we had done. Re-design it, but ironically, everything he wanted followed the lines of what I had proposed, but had been scrapped.
At the end of the meeting, I gave my “supervisor” a “good luck, you wanted this project. How can I help you” Gave her the rope, and she hung. I’m so happy. Now our divisio leader is suddenly looking for me to provide direction to the project, can’t wait till he comes in today so I can be a complete a-hole. That’s what he gets for caving to the pettyness, now he’s panicking.
But hey, it’s not my fault, so what do I care. I’m already looking for a new job, and have 2 other offers.
