Work foo
Dear Contractor,
If I write in a ticket that something you did was done incorrectly, I wasn’t just banging randomly on a keyboard. I mean you actually did something incorrectly, which I had to fix. Luckily I caught it before the customer did and the customer ended up being happy with us for a change. Posting a comment in the ticket, in all caps, about how you are “not in the habit of not doing what the customer asked” impresses me not at all. You fucked up. I had to clean up your mess. Believe me, had I not caught that error and the customer saw it, we would have gotten our asses reamed.
Your unimpressed supervisor.
Dear Cow-worker,
My offer to come in on my day off to help you out with a major project != “I’ll do it for you”. I expected I would be in the office for 2 hours or so while I help you sort out what needs to be done. I ended up staying 8 hours while you took off while I was still working. Believe me, I’ll remember that next time you need help.
Your colleague.
