How to address a problem in new job?

<< < (3/4) > >>

Yes definitely with the email server thing.

I recently had an issue with a local school here and they blamed their failure to submit some important paperwork on an IT problem when they had actually said it was sent 6 months before. They said they had no record of doing it and couldn’t be responsible for the issue. Immediately formal complaint was raised with email print out with headers and the staff member mysteriously left the week after. Hmmmmmmmmm.

First step of all issues start with trying to hide it. This is followed by finding someone to blame it on. Eventually when those options run out the issue is dealt with. Never be a part of the first two steps.

Also watch out for career assassins who will shit on anyone to be the last person out of the door.

It pains me to point this out, but if you addressed your concerns to management in the same broken English as your post here, perhaps that's one reason why it wasn't taken seriously.

I don't think gramma has anything to do with a ECO switch, unfortunately for the paper pushers that notice such things.

well two things can happen, one is funny


the 2nd is the fire department cutting off someones arm that got entangled with a shaft or such, and based on the grounding issues more likely 1 or more people being killed or injured by electricity. hey if you go home ill give you $500. just walk it off kid

this place sounds like its going to claim the employee attempted self injury for compensation (the usual). the reasonable solution is to find another job, because that workplace is lol. probobly just going to try to groom you into a scumbag. don't play russian roulette with industrial garbage

  That was my first thought as well. I even went back and looked at the OP's flag to see if he was from an English speaking country and he is.

   My advice to the OP: Unless you are specifically directed to find and report defects such as these then don't do it, at least for the time being. But the first thing that you NEED do to is that if you want to be taken seriously, then you need to be working on seriously improving your spelling and grammar skills! Unless you're going to be nothing more that janitor or something like that, those skills are going to be vital to your entire career and not just this one situation.

   Take this from someone who, in school, didn't think that those skills were important and that neglected them. I have to WORK everyday to correct my spelling and grammar. I ended up spending almost my entire engineering career writing systems requirements, engineering analysis and about a zillion technical manuals so bad grammar and speeling :-O, (and bad typing!) has been a real challenge!

  I'm sorry if English isn't your native language. It's tough enough even when it is!

Software to detect/correct bad spelling exists and the red squiggly line feature under a mistyped word has been there for ages.
English is not my native language either but there are plenty of ways to improve your english, more than ever before.
