Okay

This is about work...and work alone.

I moved back into my old department about 3 weeks ago. I had moved from customer service over into the accounts payable part (as a whole, AP and customer service are one in the same...just AP is more of the data entry, no talky talky to the customer part) back in November of last year because I was getting tired of having my ear bitched off every day by people I don't even know.

Now that I've had a break from all that, I realized that I really missed it and decided to move back (they were having me help over there anyway...I just asked to be moved back permanently). I am SOOOOO glad that I did.

They had made it know that they were going to open up two new positions for team "lead" in the AP area. We had one "lead" already and our department is expanding so much, they really needed more "lead" spots. They were looking to hire within, so they asked people to apply. I guess 5 people applied (one of which is my friend at work...and no, I'm not biased). She went for her "interview" and she was a great fit other than the fact that she did not have any experience. BACK IT UP...the entire department is brand spankin' new. The current "lead" has been there since May of 2004 (first oldest), I've been there since September of 2004 (making me 2nd oldest), and then everyone else has been there, MAYBE, two years (minus the million and one temps they have working). Out of the five people that "applied," I could only think of two people that WOULD have applied that would have this "experience" they are seeking. Come Monday, those two people are the people they chose.

These two people are very BUDDY BUDDY. They are connected at the hip, they do everything together, they smoke their bud together, they drink their drinks together, they do their concerts together...bosom buddies. How convenient that they both get hired as "leads" of the department. They're the two that I referenced earlier as being in the two year crowd. They're also two people that cut corners, do things incorrectly, don't give a rats ass about anything...and they are now the people that everyone is supposed to look up to. WHAT A CROCK!

The temps they have trained to audit our bills were trained by one of them...they were trained maybe 50/50...SO many bills come over to my area because they are missing things or there is no authorization in the system, however, on further review, they are missing nothing, they are sending duplicates, they can't "read" the bill...5 thousand documents are sitting waiting to be reviewed by my team of 7 versus their team of 30. They have 10 thousand documents waiting to be audited, and half of those go to my team that is 4 times smaller than their team? That's ridiculous.

The other person couldn't enter bills to save her life...she enters things incorrectly, doesn't take the time out to see what/who she is paying...we've paid so many wrong vendors, it's not even funny. I would say 50%+ of those bills belongs to person # 2 in this "lead" equation.

What the hell is up with that?

I'm just so irritated with this whole situation. We had a meeting today at work and they told us to contact them with issues. Excuse me? Any issue my team has is going by the wayside because my team does not agree with the way they are doing things. Even if things that we suggest would help us out or anyone else out, they would be ignored. It's just a bunch of BULLSHIT...

Ugh...anyway, I just had to get that out. SORRY TO RANT

wow..... hope you won't get more problems from them.

Wow, sounds like you work at ACS or EDS or something along those lines.
Is there no way to prove how incompetent these people are?
