She played a huge part in my burnout and breakdown with her rudeness, her laziness and her back-stabbing.<br />I viewed her LinedIn profile recently, she's working again for a large company where I have contacts. And her profile is dishonest.<br />Which is probably how she duped me<br /><br />I so empathise with you but if she's a hindrance sack her, she can only do damage in the long runjuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04283759962211889152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5808348031964469008.post-22160837230861353772011-10-08T14:01:42.435+11:002011-10-08T14:01:42.435+11:00Worked with one woman who claimed extensive tech w...Worked with one woman who claimed extensive tech writing experience. Turned out that she had managed tech writers and was convinced that that meant she was capable of doing the job. And when you had to correct her, she would get emotional, claiming you just didn't understand the issue. She wanted to re-invent the website rather than go back and fix something she'd done.<br /><br />That said, I'm kinda feeling like her at the moment. One week on the job and I still don't feel like I have a clue. These people have an insanely convoluted workflow. I'm sure it'll make sense in a week or so. <br /><br />They also have a hiring freeze, so they're hiring long-term contractors (a year or so at a time). Would that work for you?The Merryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09660495393832517684noreply@blogger.com
