Recently, I was asked (loosely put) to work for another department within the company for which I work.

I reluctantly agreed (believing that I really had no choice).

The manager I will be working for tells me that they have a dire need to have me come work for them, so I accept this and the assignment.

I come to find out that the section I agreed to work for created the ' dire' need by sending those workers, usually responsible for the work I will be doing, to another portion of their work area to work other cases.

You would think that, if they needed people, they would send them directly to the area that needs the help. See, they' re going to have to train those workers in every aspect of the new task, so why don' t they just get the replacements to that other section?

Anyway...this is just me venting...

I thought that maybe others here at Kikizo would have stories to tell concerning things they do for their employers that goes above and beyond...to appease THEIR bosses and/or to keep their jobs!
