You.

Yeah, you.

I have a few friendly tech tips for you:

1. CC'ing my boss on emails to me in which you try to passive-aggressively say I don't do my job doesn't do anything except piss me right the fuck off.

2. Submitting multiple tickets for the same incident doesn't do anything except create more admin work for me and therefore pisses me right the fuck off, because now I have to contact the users you are putting tickets in for to find out if they're having multiple "Outlook issues" or if you're just spamming my damn queue.

3. When I tell you that I cannot install network drops, that installing network drops is nowhere in my company's contract, that no seriously I can't install network drops ... and you then email my boss and word it as "we need a line", and then *sneak* the network drop request into an unrelated ticket? Guess what it does? It pisses me right the fuck off. You are not Congress. You cannot put unrelated items into your ticket like you were attaching a rider to a bill. (PS, my boss is pissed that you misled her, too.)

Lady, why the smeg are you so hellbent on pissing off your tech? You know I'm the only one you have. You know you're not getting another one. You (ought to) know that pissing off the ONE person who can perform a vital job service for you is idiotic.

(The day I get to stop posting about this dingbat is the day that I'm probably being escorted to jail for beating her with a pineapple. This ONE woman is making me seriously contemplate looking for a new job.)

Sounds like she found a threat that works for her to get things "her way" a while back.

You should not only have her email your boss, but you should CC your boss on every single email you send to her.

They should be back...

...at least I hope so - they lost mine as well.

Never quit over someone not in your chain of command, especially when THEY rely on YOU.

You need to encourage them to be the ones to quit.

Damn skippy.

One has to hope that the OP's boss is communicating with dingbat's boss to figure out what her major malfunction is.

Hmm.. so your boss knows exactly what's she's like, and is just as pissed off by her as you...

I'd say it was time to go read some BOFH and get some inspiration...you can do Evil, Evil things to her, and no-one is going to take her seriously.

and with a little luck, she'll be the one looking for a new job.

"...being escorted to jail for beating her with a pinapple."

The mental imagery of this action is hilarious and would make for excellent stories as to why one landed in jail, imo. :)

It would command some awesome respect in the slammer, too.

"I'm here for murder."
"How did you do it?"
"I beat her to death with a pineapple."
::backs away:: "Not gonna fuck with you..."

Definitely don't quit over this one bitch.

Unless this one bitch is changing the way you work because she has your bosses around your finger. In that case, the job is fucked, and leave.

Most people here know not to mess with the tech-support. We will band together and destroy them. :)
