annissamazing: Ten's red Chucks (camping)
A couple weeks ago Diane asked me to compile a list of all the company vehicles in the eastern part of the US. She said that Debbie (my Californian counterpart) was able to do it in a day. Which made me wonder how Debbie was able to not only know about compiling this list, but was able to complete it before I was even asked to do my half.

Anyway, I spent a week asking managers to report which employee was in what vehicle. Pat did most of the work. Matt and Geoff sent their lists directly to Diane. Monday morning Diane reported that her department (HER DEPARTMENT) spent hours tracking down all of the vehicles in the company so that the new vehicle manager could start with the correct information. Pat was livid. Anyway, when all the managers had turned in lists, I sent out a complete vehicle listing to the managers with the vehicles no one had claimed hilighted so we could find them and report where they were. I was trying to make sure no vehicles fell through the cracks. It was my understanding that time was of the essence, so I was forwarding the information as it came in. I had one straggler. When that came in, I forwarded it. Just the one guy. Yesterday morning, Diane sent out this email to me and CC'd my boss and my boss' boss.

"I have had a few emails like this today. I'm guessing that this is the "vehicle listing" for the east.
Please compile all vehicles, drivers, job #'s into a single spreadsheet so that we have one complete list from you.
Possibly you could ask Debbie [last name deleted] to show you how she handles this type of data. Her info comes to us in a very useable format.
Let me know if you need further help with this project!
I'm still waiting for your vehicle list.
Thanks
Diane"

The reason why the lists went to her separately from me is because she originally asked the supervisors individually. The reason why it came from Debbie in one list is because all of the California managers gave it to Debbie to do. Debbie was used to Avsec's incompetence and had already compiled a list of all the vehicles in her area. She simply updated it and sent it to Diane. So when Diane decided I should do it, she was expecting the same thing. However, I've only been doing this job since April whereas Debbie has been doing this job for several years. I had no time to prepare for Avsec's incompetence. She's going out of her way to make me look as bad as possible, which is easy to do when you compare me to Debbie. Debbie is fantastic and I don't have a single negative thing to say about her. The thing is, though, that I'm a very good employee and I'm very good at what I do. I just haven't had the time yet to get up to Debbie's speed.

So I spent all day yesterday fixing the problems caused because they fired a guy (who, to be fair, deserved to be fired) without first training somebody to take his place. They lost track of the vehicles because Diane hired her daughter to do the job for the summer and then I had to clean up the mess. And I cannot begin to express how much I resent being made to look like a lazy, worthless employee because I can't fix their mistakes lickety split.

I guess the funny part would be that she took credit for all of Pat's and my work and then complained that we didn't get the work she took credit for done.

Today is a new day, though. Today will probably not be about vehicles. Today will probably be about missing paperwork. The accounting and HR departments can't seem to agree upon who's missing what. Only accounting so far seems to be blaming me, though. Good thing I keep good documentation. I'm sick of being the scapegoat.
