It occurs to me that you might be interested in some terminology some other folks on my f-list use.

boss: person you work for (supervisor, manager, whatever)
grandboss: person your boss works for
great-grandboss: person your grandboss works for

And so on, up the chain.

Can we kill the stupid programmers?

A friend just quit her job because she was getting screwed over on her pay. Due to a software bug some of her shifts weren't getting recorded.

Her manager refused to forward her claim to HR.

She'd complained about it before, but only this time did she mention a critical detail.

The "lost" shifts started Saturday night and ended Sunday morning.

I can now hear the groans from all the *competent* programmers who've had to do date/time calculations.

Crossing midnight is a common problem for time calcs. So are crossing a week boundary, month boundary and year boundary.

*All* are things a competent programmer should *explicitly* test for. Obviously some yahoo didn't.

And having no hardcopy time records other than timesheets which this manager can apparently ignore at whim? That's a different sort of incompetence. But at least the state wage & hoiur board can ream him a new one over *that*
