I got the nastiest email from work the other day, and not even someone from my group.
We are in a state of constant flux at work, which means we move machines around all the time. It's part of the job. I know how to move machines carefully and with as little damage as possible.
So anyways, before I came to the floor, some freaking group dropped one of their machines on our benches and walked away. They don't even pay rent for the space they are using, they simply left their machine there. So from time to time, we need to move the machine out of our way, and put it somewhere else.
So that's what I did the other day, I warned the people who own the machine that it was going to be moved a week before I move it, and of course they never responded.
So I moved the machine.
Someone uses it, and ****s up the door mechanism, which is a common problem with said machine.
The next thing I know, I get blindsided with the nasty email of someone basically telling me I gave them no warning, this is the third time I've moved the machine though it isn't even ours, and blah blah blah. This person goes on to call me, and this I will quote "ignorant garbage."
And they are an operation manager? How do you get to be a manager when you talk like that to someone whose not even in your group? Freaking moron.
So I inform my boss, who I have to admit, is the coolest boss I've ever had. He checked out the machine, agreed with my assessment that it wasn't broken when we moved it, that someone else broke the damn thing, and agrees to pay for the fix, just to shut the other person up.
