Scapegoating bosses!
Just a rant here ladies.
BF got a new job as an IT Support Specialist recently. They never gave him ANY type of formal training on their IT structure, so he's had to figure everything out so far via trial and error. But, it happens!
Last week, one of the super VIPs had an issue with her laptop, and BF's boss said, "Hey L, can you go fix this issue? Thanks!" (EDIT: I wanted to add that BF expressed concern over going to fix it since he hasn't received formal training on their structure, but he insisted). So BF drives to DC (he works in Baltimore City usually) every day since last Wednesday trying to fix this issue. Fast forward to today and there's no fix yet. Apparently, the encryption software that his company uses corrupted the lady's files and BF cannot restore them after all this time. So his boss just called him and told him, VER-STINKIN-BATIM "Hey, we may need you to take the heat for this one. Sorry, but you know someone's gotta take the fall."
I wanna sock this guy in the face! BF is really concerned about his job security now, since this lady is really important, and it sounds like Boss is going to say it was all BF's fault.
Anyone else have a similar experience lately?
Re: Scapegoating bosses!
You're probably right. I went to a function a few weekends ago with BF, and no one had a single good (or bad) thing to say about his boss. It's like no one wanted to talk about him, lol. Weird!
My FI had his jobbed threatened: if he didn't sign the official "write up" paper, he would be immediately terminated. Fortunately (or not), the owners of the business stepped in and wouldn't let it happen.
We found out a couple days later that his boss who was writing him up had been reprimanded for the same thing by the owners! He was just trying to pin the blame on someone else!
