There’s one thing that I absolutely hate about my current job.
There’s little accountability for anybody, and the lines of responsibility are very poorly drawn.
It seems like certain people can put their foot down and decide what their job titles entail, and other people are simply thrown random jobs when they come floating down the pipeline. If you’re in the wrong place at the wrong time, something becomes your fault or your responsibility. It doesn’t matter if it makes any sense relative to your actual title or daily responsibilities. This is exactly what happened to me last weekend when I stopped by my work for a few minutes to grab a folder that I forgot. When I walked into the office, it was clearly overheated and humid. I was confused why I would feel so awful in there, because the air conditioning unit should be running 24/7. I went to the thermostat and took a look at the cooling system temperature control settings, and realized that the thermostat was operating fine. Therefore, it seems like the air conditioning system was faltering. I am not an air conditioning expert, nor do I know anything about technology or mechanical repairs. I’m definitely not the right person to call out a professional HVAC tech and try to talk about the existing air quality control system, because I don’t know anything about it. I have no clue when this air handling device was installed, if it has ever been professionally maintained, or if we even bothered to change the air filters. On top of that, I’m not the one who broke the air conditioning system in the first place. Still, somehow it became my job to find a reputable HVAC dealer and arrange the emergency repair services. I spent my weekend in the office, dealing with someone else’s job.
