I don't like being ignore, overlooked, put off or not responded to. It's just not good etiquette. Bad form, unprofessional.
I have to remember that the folks ignoring/overlooking/putting off/not responding to me are folks that are doing what I used to do. They're arse deep in alligators, hopping from fire to fire, dealing in chaos and drama. They get to do the fun stuff.
I'm the one waiting on their replies so I can move on to the next thing. And I used to be the one trying to find a chunk of time and a bit of squiggle room so I could tend to something that the other person could very well run the report and do themselves. And I CAN get the information myself. But apparently the boss thinks they need to be included in the process...or something like that, cuz he keeps telling me to involve them.
I remember things like this not being the prioity...heck, some days I couldn't get to emails until afternoon, which apparently isn't acceptable....but there ya have it.
I gotta take this stuff less personal....or tell the boss that including them isn't a good plan. It's especially not good when you know it'll be wrong information and you'll end up correcting it anyways.
"If you want something done right, do it yourself" comes to mind!!
LOL...oh mannn...I must need a meeting!!

So true, but terribly unfair, is what I say. Keep smiling, Mel.

Boy, ain't that the truth, Mel. This is why I often like doing things myself because there's no sense in having to do it over; correcting someone else's mistakes.

Waist deep in alligators does not sound fun to me- I'm so happy there are people like you who enjoy doing things like that, so people like me don't have to!
It's always interesting being on the other side of a problem!
And maybe just may your battery has run out of juice. Didn't you just come from a meeting? Oh well....alligator infested waters can be thrilling and scary and annoying...or worse if you aren't in the boat and in control of it.
Hope you get a resolution that works. Sometimes we really do need to train the boss. Hope he's trainable.
