Why am I so fed up or shall we say seemly unprofessional by being coming rather emotionally frustrated, especially in my dealings with some of my colleagues?
Well... That's because sometimes I wonder if common sense is really common at all? Also, if anyone is really using their brains when they work?
Why? Well, let me ask you a question... If you are working, and there were some errors when you ran some jobs or report. Would you just ignore those errors or would you look at the errors, and try to resolve those errors?
Logically speaking, if anyone encounter errors, they would not ignore errors. Right? No? You mean you would let the errors be there and simply ignore them, not even bother to check and retry to ensure that there is really no issues? If so, how do you ensure these errors will not affect your operations/cash flow/etc at a later stage?
So, if you encounter errors, you would start looking at the errors, try and resolve them or if you could not resolve them, you would start asking for help or seek assurances from more experienced persons to ensure the situation is under control. Well, what happens if you had someone else working with you, but both of you when encounter errors, would both of you ignore the errors? Giving it an opportunity to blow up in your face?
Where am I getting at with all these scenarios?
Well... a site went live yesterday, or rather this early morning. However, due to these people who decided not to do anything about the errors, had issues down the road after 2 hours into the go live, and start to call people asking for help due to some other issues they are facing with the system. It took another hour to find out that they had screwed up by ignoring those errors which is very easily resolved within 10 minutes. However, because of these, there were people who had to forgo some hours of sleep and making some other people very angry and fed up with the kind of work attitude, causing more "fireworks" within the team which is already barely holding on due to the projects.
This is despite the several prompting by some to ensure when certain things are done, some checking needs to be done to ensure the work is done correctly... Well, apparent the check is done, but when you have 2 persons who have this working attitude of not bother to ensure all errors are resolved checking each other... You know how this would work out...
So... I had to wake up in the middle of the night to resolve some issues that would not have happen if someone has bother to use their brains, for a change, to resolve issues or at least if they don't know what to do, ask before the entire thing blows up in their face!!! No, they simply just ignore those errors and tell everyone else that the system is ready!
ARGH!!!
