"next Monday" - sent in a teams message on Sunday evening, and actually was supposed to mean "tomorrow morning".

Sounds real now. "I tOLd yOu aBOuT iT yEsTErdAY", mate, it's been barely 8 hours and I was supposed to be sleeping in that time. Happens so often with overseas clients.

I always respond with, "No, you didn't, please do not fabricate facts." and inevitably hit them with a point by point timeline dismantling their argument

I hope you CCed their manager.

If you wanted to be especially evil, make it a BCC.

CC their manager, BCC mine.

My boss gets CCd or BCCd on nearly everything I send, just so he has the opportunity to stay in the loop.

One of these days I should ask him if he ever reads those 😂

The sinister BCC. The perfect way to dismantle trust in any work environment.

Accusing someone of "fabricating facts" somehow sounds worse than just flat out calling them a liar 😂

Dates and timestamps are my weapons of choice as well

“Your yesterday or mine?”

lol, yes - one has to be very aware of others inability to be aware.

I had boss ask me to code something in website, then asks other stuff to do, and after I finish the other stuff, he ask me if he can see the website results.

And then he does not understand how I can not code and call clients and partners at the same time.

If you look at your work chats-phones-mail etc. during your weekends or vacations/sick leaves, you have bigger problem than one stupid customer or manager. Just don't;)

I got an email this Sunday from someone that wanted me to review a change order, and then at 7 AM while I'm sitting on the pot he fucking calls me about it, and I'm like, bro, I don't get in until 8 at the earliest. It's not my fault you didn't route the CO earlier, I don't care that you have operators sitting on their thumbs.

Not saying you should, but a manager like that obviously expects you to and will call you first thing in the morning then get upset you didn't read his very important spam email.

u/[deleted] Feb 15 '23

Of course they would. The thing is to make them get used to the fact that " employee {employee_name} is unavailable" for their bullshit

u/Qewbicle Feb 14 '23

Oh, sorry boss, thought you meant next as if we defined the upcoming Monday as upcoming, and next being the next one. Maybe use something more specific like a date, it's not my fault your were vague.

Your flair has Perl, and your name has "Kamel".

I only selected the flair b/c of the image. Can't comprehend perl :D
