    :flaming: :flaming: :flaming: I gave my professional opinion on an audit working paper. My boss had a differing opinion and told me to change the opinion on that working paper. I asked her to provide me with a compelling reason as to back her opinion and she was not able to do so. I made the changes that she requested but noted by dissenting opinion and marked the working paper as complete. THE F*CKING B*TCH WENT IN AND, WITHOUT CONSULTING WITH ME, REMOVED MY OPINION BEFORE MARKING THE WORKING PAPER AS APPROVED AND LEFT MY NAME ON AS THE AUTHOR OF THE WORKING PAPER.

    As such she has left the file indicating that the conclusion indicated was MY professional opinion. She did not even have the decency to inform me that she was making the change. I have never in all of my years working as a professional seen such blatant disrespect of the professional opinion process. This is complete B.S. :flaming:

    Ah, but she is the boss so her opinion takes precedence as she is smarter, has more friends in higher places, and more well paid than you.

    Although having said that, she should really have signed the workpaper herself rather than leaving you as the author.

    This sort of thing never happened in the good old days of handwritten workpapers.

    @JSBB: I guess I would report her to the police. That's document forgery and should be a crime in any reasonable jurisdiction.

    A quick message for anyone that still remembers me:

    I'm still alive :)

    But I finished my education about 18 months ago and the last 15 months have been spent working and not much free time. Hopefully this will change.

    Anyway best wishes to you all

    Take some aspirin and tequilla and and go to sleep for a little while Brallrock. Just don't take too much of the tequilla or your headache might get worse when you wake up.

    After dealing with some rather serious problems I have returned to SP.

    @JSBB, your problem sounds serious to me. The word 'audit' is to me a very serious one and indicates (to me) a legal document. If the opinion express is at sometime found to be incorrect I foresee trouble. Is it possible to appeal to a higher authority?

    You know how someone asks for advice about something and you give it, but they do what they want anyway? WTF? Why did you bother to ask then?! :flaming:

    Input is input. It means they value your opinion, even if they don't take it every time.

    BTW, are you still seeing the sparkle? It doesn't seem to be showing up for me anymore. :(

    Why in the nine hells did they gave us a day off tomorrow instead of friday? Of course a day off is always welcome - even more when it happens to stretch a weekend to three days.

    F****** morons. At least there's only ten days left...

    Played like crap yesterday and twisted my ankle right at the end too. This blows. From "Nemesis", I became "My own worst enemy" :bang:

    @JSBB

    I suggest a Lord Chesterfield/Macchiavelli type of approach here. If you're sure you can appeal to a higher authority and place her in a position where she can no longer retaliate after, do so. If not, wait until such an opportunity presents itself before acting.

    As Artemis Entreri preaches, It doesn't do well to leave enemies in your wake ;) :evil:
