Subordinate meltdown

Geez, what a week. Trying to fix a problem outside the country, trying to get things quickly through customs. Dealing with shipping companies. Dealing with customers. Dealing with the Prime Contractor, which is a jerk. Very very frustrating.

Then, one of my guys has a meltdown. He starts by sending nasty e-mails to one of the salesguys (who is an a$$hat!). Then, after a couple of rounds, forwards the e-mail trail to the President of our division, along with a whiny paragraph, telling the President that the sales guy is pissing him off.

2 days of damage control, meetings, presentations, phone calls, more meetings, wasted time, wasted effort.

I'm glad the week is over.
