@StefanoGaivota I'm not worried at all. I've been playing this game for close to 30 years and usually was the one walking away from the arena. 😉
I know to cover my bases and how to play the game. I hate to do it, but I can.
@StefanoGaivota BCC is bad because people will "reply to all" immediately. My colleagues are informed and I'll drop the topic on my boss next time we meet.
Besides that: being booted from that project actually would be a proper promotion for me. 😎
@StefanoGaivota For the first round, I decided to not the play the "Look who is cc'ed!" game. I found that leaving cc empty and speaking on your own often is perceived as a strong "Don't fuck with me" signal.
I'll use it when the circumstances are right.
@arclight Well, their company lawyer, of all people, already did that in a meeting, with pretty much the same message.
Apparently, it wasn't clear enough.
@tobyjaffey That's a good idea!
Will do that next time, I think.
For this round, I'll rage a bit. Might be a way to get rid of the contract.
Okay, it happened.
I just received an AI-written e-mail from a colleague in the customer's QM department.
The content completely missed my question and delivered a lot of generic fluff instead. Not the least bit of actually thinking is recognisable from the text.
That really feels like maximum disrespect.
I'm not sure how to respond, but it may be harsh and written by my own hand and brain.
Geez, I'm old.
A colleague of mine asked me to create an evaluation on her Excel workbook - which absolutely should be a database instead.
I had her explain the task and then took an hour to figure it out. Actually, 15 minutes of thinking, 30 minutes of search, and 15 minutes of testing.
She is super happy and probably thinks I'm an Excel god or something. I'm not.
I've just dealt with Excel for ages. Although having played with Excel 3.0, I really started with Excel 95/7.0 on Windows NT back when computers seemed magical instead of an annoying PITA.
