Am I wrong to feel offended by...

SciFiGreg

Am I wrong in feeling offended that a task I've been performing for over a year has now been assigned to someone else, with someone other than myself supervising them?

Said supervisor hasn't consulted me and has disregarded my documentation / process.

Feels like a massive FU to me.

My work colleague tells me not to take it personally.

I'm growing tired of people spouting things like...

"Don't take it personally", "You're not the only one this affects", "I don't understand your problem", etc.

Management at work do my head in.

  • Completely understandable - I did a load of work prepping for delivery of a new feature on an app I'm working on so that it could be delivered while I was on extended leave (2 months). I got back to be told "Oh, the Project Manager binned all your tickets... and we wrote new ones - new team, new process..."

    I was f***ing furious and 'rage quit' our internal chat tool... All my hard work just tossed out like it was worthless...

    But, when I calmed down a bit I was all "F*** 'em... I still got paid and if they are happy to pay to do the same work twice it's not my problem..."

    People do stupid things and make bad decisions, it's bloody infuriating but you often can't do anything about. So, get good and mad, get it out of your system and then move on. You can take a horse to water, but sometimes that dumb animal will take a piss in it and then still drink it - what're you gonna do, eh?
