Re: Sending a child to do an adults work

An awkward situation in India, as the poor girl might have had it taken out on her afterwards.

Been there, done that myself. Piece of kit doesn't work. Discover it's massively misconfigured. Manager says "that's your fault, no documentation."

This is in the days of paper manuals, and the piece of kit actually has a documentation drawer. Inside which is the manual, pristine, obviously never been opened.

The mistake I made was that I should have agreed with the manager, got all the other staff to leave the office, "found" the manual, apologised for the original (Indian) installer not having referred to it, and let the manager be the hero when the kit now worked. As it was, endless trouble for the next few days till a director got involved and told the guy to stop the shit.
