It's my second week on the job....I'm attending a demo of a bolt-on software package that the company is considering buying for the Credit Department. I knew more about the software and it's capabilities than the salesperson because we had used it at my previous company and was not the least bit impressed with it then.
After the salesperson finished the presentation, I preceded to hit the guy hard with all the questions about compatability, functionality, and support....you could tell he was taken back. I recounted the problems that i had encountered at my previous employer, and his collar was getting tighter......
After he left we were having a discussion...the Director of IT and 2 members from his team, VP of Finance (my boss), the Compliance and Deductions Manager, 2 people from Logistics, and 2 people from my team. I listened to everyone give their opinion acting as if they had just discovered gold, and decided I couldn't take it anymore. So when it came my turn to speak, I let go.....ending my diatribe with: "I'm not sure who did their research on this program, but you did a pretty poor job of it....."
The person: MY BOSS....
