StefanAVFC Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Jobsworths I had an argument with someone who is doing the job I used to do, but doing it exactly by the process. I did his job for 12 months; he has done it for 3 weeks. He is telling me how to do it. I'm telling him, no I know the job, the customer and this way is better. Then being rude and aggressive to me. Urgh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 An oft-seen Facebook ditty - "I love you too the moon and back". Yes, they did type "too". Just **** off. Who do you think you are, Buzz **** Aldrin? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urgh. that might be part of the problem tbh I'm sure you are correct , but sometimes people don't like being told my way is better and can get a bit prickly not a dig , just curious , but if your way is better , why didn't you change the process in the 12 months you did it ?

StefanAVFC Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) Wasn't changing the process, it was speeding it up in a particular situation. I haven't explained it very well. Incident reported -> template filled in -> incident investigated is the normal process and one I agree with. In this case, the CTO was reporting a non-standard incident so it needed a different response and the guy was wasting time going through every step when every step wasn't necessary. IMO if the CTO says jump, we say how high and he didnt understand that. It was more around business context than process. I've been part of this business unit for 18 months and know the senior IT guys. Him 3 weeks. Edited January 24, 2018 by StefanAVFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who do you think you are, Buzz **** Aldrin? I mentioned this to the wife last year. 5 years ago it might have been a ‘nice’ thing for someone to say. But now it just comes across as one of those recycled, chavvy phrases that you’d see plastered on social media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) If we did a different process for each type of non-standard incident we'd have hundreds. Situations like this though show how you need some common sense to work in IT Service Management. This case clearly needed a different approach; a different approach this guy didn't know how to apply. I was chasing him because him sitting on his arse for 2 hours would get back to me in the end.

lapal_fan Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Everyone knows Mooney is like... 739 or summat. Innit Mooney? The only reason he's alive is because he absorbs nutrients from Bradford flies through his anus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I like quite a range of them, but will more often than not plump for a tika massala, just because I love a really rich one (some aren't as rich, and they aren't very nice). I've tried 3 vindaloo's and I absolutely LOVE the taste, but the heat eventually gets to me and it's not worth it. I can finish them, and I really enjoy them, but it's not worth the day after I find. Tika Massala & a Peshwari Naan and I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
