I need to vent about this afternoon. I have a co-worker that doesn't have sense enough to poor piss out of a boot with the instructions written on the bottom!
Let me explain:
I process Purchase Orders to order parts for my department. Every other year, we are required to replace batteries in the biomedical equipment to comply with hospital directives. Well, I issued a PO to order a "bulk battery order". I received the order for the batteries from our lovely little chuckle head. The order that he placed was for way too many. We haven't taken delivery on the entire order. In fact, we no longer need any more batteries on this particular order. Any sane person would just say, adjust the quantity, pay all of the invoices to date, and CLOSE THE PO.
Not our boy...no, he is wanting to cross reference different POs & invoices to this PO. If any of you are financial auditors, you know that doing this will make it a big fat hairy mess. I am going to talk to my purchasing lead tomorrow & ask her to prevent me from braining this idiot.
Guess what this dolt's job title is.....
He's our Financial Coordinator!
If it wasn't for me and the rest of the front office staff, that guy would have is in such a hurt.
