Jul 16, 2007 12:00

So, the assistant manager shows up for work today and is, predictably, nonplussed by statements from the project manager that I am sharing his duties.

We just had a brief exchange during which I pointed out that the situation was complicated by the fact that my manager didn't spell our the respective roles before his departure.

So basically, I think I've been asked to inform on the missteps of the assistant manager.

This is the weirdest situation imaginable.
