Yes there is problem recording the time sheets for the development team and myself for our work with the boss man's company. The solution seems to be simple but funny. We just don't record our time in the new time sheet program for our work for this year. Perhaps use the old system which was suppose to stop this year. What a mess!
It seems that the global customer manager for the boss man's company should have placed the budget under his purview. This was the procedure last year. But he claims the it should have been the customer manager in the Asia region who should have done it for this year. The local manager claims that it should not be so. So it is turning out to be a problem.
The snake knows nothing about it or so he claims and we called him to discuss this problem. He was pointing to the manager who replaced him in the old outfit. There seemed to have been a meeting where this topic was discussed last year and the budget for this type of work was discussed. Apparently the budget for this work was removed without any thought of the consequences. But this is typical of the snake who tends to point fingers. It just shows that no proper transition was done with his successor.
But it's only a problem in our end with regards to using the new application to report our man hours. I spoke with the accountants in the boss man's company and they said the budget was approved by head office. So the mess only belongs to our department and the new French accountant in our department did not do any thing to help us. What a waste!
It is good that the snake man is leaving this week. He is moving out of his apartment and he will stay in a hotel until he departs for headquarters for a 6 week training. But it seems to be more of a cover story and he may be leaving the company soon. His family is moving back to their home country so it looks like this story may be true. Let us see.
