Kept out of the loop.....

My first assignment when I come in to the office is to send out two reports to specific people. I was told of one report that was moving to microstrategy from business objects. Well, I heard it through someone who heard it from another person. I don't get information from Corporate on these things either, although I am the one who sends the report.

I asked the person who was doing the moving (who sits on the other side of the cubicle wall from me) about a month ago to show me where it was going. He told me it wasn't moved yet, it was still in process, he would get back with me. That hasn't happened. Two weeks ago I wrote his manager and asked the same information, and if he was going to designate someone else to send the report as I had not been advised of anything. No response. I sent some people in Corporate IT an email and asked them to include me in the information as to the moving of the report, how to access it, etc. No response.

So this morning I come in to send out that report - and there is nothing. Where I usually get it from (business objects) is no longer there. I went to microstrategy and checked everything I have access to. The report is not there. I went to my back-up (a director), and she can not find it either.

Did it not make it to the new reporting section? Who knows.

I sent an email out this morning to the director of the department, the two managers, AND the person who was to move the report, and I told them I was unable to access it. I have not been shown where it is. The manager has not responded to my email. Corporate has not responded to my email. I told them I was going to assume this person, who was to have moved the report, is going to be the designated person to send out the report daily since I had been kept out of the loop. And copied my boss (a VP). I wonder how long it will take after my email gets read by the different ones on how fast I will be shown where the report is.

The interesting part? I sit smack dab in the middle of this department. They report to my boss. I don't want anyone to get in trouble. I just want someone to do their job. Just like I do mine.

And you do yours. You want to do your best. You want to complete the tasks you have been assigned - and do them well.

Keep doing your best. I will keep doing my best. These things are minor issues in the big look at life.

Blessings!
