I simply don't know what to do any more. As some may have read, I have some nice issues at the moment and at this point rely on Technical Support from our vendors. These things just piling up and in addition to that now I am receiving the pressure from our management level.
How do you deal with this, being right in a middle of a finger-pointing war ?
Vendor A blames Vendor B, Vendor B blames Vendor A, Vendor C now takes more than 2 months to replace parts and the list goes on, and I am in the middle of it, taking the heat from all involved.
Do you stop caring ? Do you just explode in style ? Do you run out and cry yourself to sleep
?
I guess I am just after ideas how to deal with the whole lot. This must be the first time the pressure seems to get to me where I actually start hating getting up in the morning.
There are obviously two things which needs to happen
1. Vendor need to get their act together
- That doesn't seem to happen any time soon, not even after escalations. I am busy most days in answering emails which clearly are stupid and support staff (senior / escalated too) clutching at straws.
2. Management needs to calm down
- They don't care why stuff doesn't get done, they just want to get it done.
I tried to talk to #1 and #2 to no avail.
So right now my main focus changed from trying to make a difference to going from paycheck to paycheck.
