Work Bullshit

The supervisor of the maintenance department, let’s call him Ninny, pisses me off. He has an idea of how I should handle my department. Too bad it’s way off. My job as supervisor of payables is to make sure we do NOT pay people for as long as possible. He thinks that it is my job to make sure things get paid on time. To boot, since some of the suppliers utterly fail to move me to paying them they go to him. He then exaggerates the situation to me trying to manipulate me to paying them. No. It doesn’t work that way. It’s actually quite annoying. They’ve gone to complain about me to the CFO (my direct boss) to no avail. Even Ninny’s supervisor told my boss that I was incompetent (I still have the email my boss forwarded to me). Both the CFO and CEO understand what I do and are supportive of my actions. It doesn’t make this situation any less aggravating though. I mean I like my job for the most part. I get paid decently for having no college degree (although it’s not stopping me from getting my degree). But sometimes I need the authority to be able to make people go away. Erase them from existence just a little while. It reminds me of this really bad tv sit-com back in the late 80s about a girl who could stop time my touching the tips of her index fingers together. I need that power. Really. Edit: Let’s not even mention that they’ve got me doing G/L accounting on top of everything.
