I REALLY don't want to get anyone in trouble.

[bertha katzenengel]

I have a deadline today, and I JUST received the materials I need to meet that deadline. I called the supervisor of the person who brought me these materials -- just to verify that I wouldn't be penalized if I missed the deadline. I told him "I REALLY don't want to get X in trouble; I just want to make sure there will be no penalty, because I JUST got this stuff."

I LIKE X -- a lot. I REALLY hope his boss doesn't ream him for this. :(

1. It's not your responsibility to cover for them...

You're being put under pressure and were right in letting their boss know the circumstances.

3. I like trouble. But not that kind of trouble.

5. Usually if I don't want to get someone in trouble

I speak to them prior to speaking to their supervisor

6. I've already done that...

and a co-worker overheard my call to the supervisor, and said "I've had problems with X too. They gave me Y instead and I haven't had any more problems." Hmm.

7. OK

It was this sentence that threw me a tad "I LIKE X -- a lot. I REALLY hope his boss doesn't ream him for this."
