[SERIOUS] Passing the buck...
Dont you just hate it when someone on a project passes the buck to avoid getting in trouble?
[Rant]There is this person from a third party company whos coordinating a project with my client and Boeing Aircraft. This person dropped the ball and didnt get our FTP account setup for 3.5 weeks. Our commitment was mid may but the account wasnt setup until the end of May and then the account info was incorrect and couldnt login. After almost another week delay I got in touch with the lead FTP technician and figured out that they gave us the wrong casing on the username. The server is a unix box so that means the username needed to be lower casing. Idiots!
Now this person is corresponding trying to cover her tracks and attaching emails showing my commitment but not noting that they were 3 weeks late after that even If there part is not in place in time then how the hell can I get may part into production! Oh just wait for my reply and attached emails and screen shots of related info showing my part is complete and still waiting for them to approve and even look at it. its still sitting on the FTP server exactly where they requested it to be placed. You guys remember the "Do you c0d russian roulette style" CC thread. I finished with 1 minut to spare according to their servers date/time stamp! I'm ready to blow off this freaking project and take a loss of several thousand $'s.
My client knows that this person is way out of line and that they are in the wrong but that doesnt mean that Boeing will see things the same way.
Should I play her games and call her bluff and forward all the correspondance between my client, the third parts technical lead and coordinator, and her?[/Rant]
