Here's a question for you.
I've been waiting a couple of hours for somebody to do a job so that I can finish off something. It's not a difficult job, it's just a case of emailing me some login details that already exist. I've been waiting a couple of hours for them. This is a long way from being the first time. I hate being a grass, but I've felt the need to go over their heads.

If somebody's being shit at their job and it's affecting your ability to do yours, at what point would you stop having a go at them about it and consider it fair game to go to their manager?

This is a fucking annoying IT thing
I've been waiting all day for one of our customers to enable remote access. You'd think they were fucking Barclays bank or something, not a pissant housing association in Scotland
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Wed 21 May 2014, 14:40, Reply)

What pisses me off, is that this person I'm waiting on was sent the original request.
She then said "you need to request this from IT", knowing full well we have to go to her to get the bloody details. Why the fuck couldn't she just email them straight down to us?
( Kroney, Wed 21 May 2014, 14:42, Reply)

This fucks me off.
I get an email with a problem, and respond about 10 minutes later after having a look, looking for more info.

Invariably I hear nothing back for a fortnight where they're asking me what's happening with it.

I only deal with the managers in the first place
The problem then being that you just have to go along with it when they're shit

I'm a bit conflicted, truth be told.
Because although I hate being a grass, I do love a whiny-whiny-bitch-bitch.
( Kroney, Wed 21 May 2014, 14:43, Reply)

Email them again, with your original request at the bottom
And cc their manager.

Some of our customers now raise support incidents by cc-ing in a director. CUNTS!
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Wed 21 May 2014, 14:52, Reply)

This happens to us, sometimes.
Luckily the directors couldn't give the tiniest shit unless actual contracts are involved.
( Kroney, Wed 21 May 2014, 14:54, Reply)

If our IT "support" company don't get back to us I frequently have to cc their manager in on replies
because they're fucking shit.
( Bazongaloid, Wed 21 May 2014, 14:54, Reply)

This, sadly, happens a lot.
Makes the rest of us look like cunts.

I mentioned to her manager that we'd not heard a peep from her in two hours
and suddenly she emails me. What a coincidence.
