I’ve been waiting 5 weeks for something from my purchasing department. Twice a week I’ve sent an email to all the department heads asking for the information. Today at our weekly engineering meeting I was asked why I wasn’t done with it. I said I didn’t get the information from purchasing. The boss of the head of purchasing said he’d have him send me the information.
A couple of hours later, I get an email from purchasing with a name and phone number in the subject line with nothing in the body. I guess it is the salesman who sells our company the parts. But, I don’t know the name, part number, or anything else about the parts.
So, I send another email to the chain saying “Your providing me the name and number of our contact is only useful if I know the material we use on the panels. After 5 weeks of my asking, can you give me some reference for this material?”
And, I’m told that was “uncalled for” and I shouldn’t “rock the boat too much”.
Well, I’m a boat rocker. I sent him back a copy of every email he sent me for the last 5 weeks along with my 10 requests for data. My answer was not in any of the emails he sent.
Given this guy was just made a VP and they just sold the company to new owners, maybe I shouldn’t rock the boat.
Ah well, too late now.
