Why I don't want to work here anymore...
This might be difficult to decipher for people who haven't worked at the Bureau, but this is sorta why I'd like to not have to deal with my direct supervisor anymore. Direct conversation from our inner-agency IM program:
Aaron: Hey - I notice you've got 1 hour on PP18 for Activity, which is actually next week, after the 31st. Did you mean for that to be for this week?
Aaron: I don't know if you or Casey put it on the billing sheet, but it's on the Activity billing sheet.
(Supervisor): No, it is for the week indicated. I estimated my time being spent this week since we need to bill it. Casey put it on the billing sheet.
Aaron: I don't see it reflected on the hours spreadsheet anywhere, but on the billing sheet, it's under Pay Period 18, which actually starts on August 1. We're only billing Activity up to July 31st, as that's when the contract ends, right?
(Supervisor): Sounds like we need to discuss this in our meeting with the 3 of us. Casey ran over to Admin to drop off some paperwork, I asked her to let you know when she is back and then we can meet.
Really? Do we have to have a whole meeting about someone entering 1 hour of time one column to the right of where it should have been in a spreadsheet? You realize, of course, that a half an hour meeting of my time, Casey's time, and my supervisor's time, costs the Bureau roughly $170. The time is entered for August 1 - 15, which is after the contract ends, so THERE IS NO WAY IT SHOULD BE THERE. WE CANT BILL THEM FOR THAT TIME. WHAT THE FUCK DO WE HAVE TO MEET ABOUT THIS FOR, IT SHOULD BE FOR ONE PAY PERIOD EARLIER!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
