What REALLY grinds your gears?

Anyway, finance has been throwing audits our way, left and right, to find any cracks in our department. They finally were able to get our CIO fired and our delivery manager - both of whom didn't do anything wrong. Now, they're trying to get us, system admins, fired. All because they are trying to cover up things that they do wrong themselves. The VP is in on it - and she's been guilty of saying some derogatory things about one of our system admins - of course, she goes unpunished.

One of the finance chicks was given the interm delivery manager position until they hired someone full time. She still does finance stuff and that job - but we all can see that this was deliberately setup to infiltrate our department, and for her to sort of be a "spy". She's already complained to the VP over me and another system admin. She actually wants either one of our jobs, because she's stated she knows the college's ERP system like the back of her hand and could do our job.

This is the first time I've been targeted, but I'm sure it won't be the last. Like I said before, this group has already been successful in getting our CIO and delivery manager fired - they won't stop until they have cleaned house. Looks like I'll be looking for another job while I still have one. I can't afford to get fired - I have a wife and kid at home!

Sounds like a hell hole. I'm sorry, Met, best wishes to you and your squad.

Thanks dudes! These people, I'll add, don't have children - have plenty of money in the bank, talk about how they can retire early. They don't understand the lives they affect by pulling this shit.

That really sucks dude. Best of luck in whatever future path you take.
