Sometimes you do have to wonder about human interactions. You have to wonder about root causes of conflict. Often times I get the feeling so much of it stems from selfishness. From a limited view of the world and goddammit if you don’t like it.
Got this feeling on this massive project here today at work where a contractor (note that) who controls this database is being obstinate. (You like that word?) I have expressed for months how this, according to people who work here, ‘baby’ of hers is an ugly beast that needs a major facelift and work. It is the product of a cluttered, messy mind in my humble opinion, but beyond that it does not fit in to our company goals (please refer back to the previous ‘note’ at this point).
One might think a contractor would be excited about a little extra work over the next couple of months and simply say, hey, it could be better lets see what we can do. Man, you would be wrong in this case. Dead wrong. She fights tooth and nail on every little thing when the data analysis says most of this clutter can go. After this issue was raised months ago she in fact did the exact opposite of the requested.
It is one weird dynamic and one, if she were an enterprise, would have sunk her dead by now in these new times that we are living in. Ah well though right? Objections have been raised, discussions have gone on and the reality is out there.
