My co-worker is a "topper". He's that guy that's slightly higher ranked than you, but is always looking to point out faults in people to make himself look better. What he does is always better than what you do(whether it is or not).
Yesterday, I got a Google spreadsheet of customers in Michigan, and I had to sort them by area codes, then pick out certain areas and submit them to get moved.
So, I sorted by phone number (just like in Excel), and then copied and pasted the list to get the people migrated. Well, Google's sort doesn't sort the whole sheet...just the column. Therefore all of the phone numbers were mismatched with the records, making me look like an idiot (UNLIKE Excel).
You know Google, I like you, I'm pulling for you, but you make me look bad Now I have to listen to Topper spout off about how he found the error, had to correct it, and coordinated the fix just in time before any damage was done.
*sigh*
The best is that employees think that setting the gchat client to "off the record" means I can't go in and see them talk about how hung-over they are, or how they think my fire-drill sucked.
Not that I would do that.
How do you have access to their chats? I have no problem with you looking at them. I'm just curious how you intercept the chat stream.
I dont, but if i wanted to i would call corporate HR and ask for it.
Im a fairly laid back guy so it would take a special circumstance for me to care if you are intra office gossiping.
My question is beyond what you would or wouldn't do. I'm asking how anyone would have access to the chats.

Your fire-drill did suck.
The accounts are company property and subject to random inspection...HR has access to any @myjob.com data.
Wait, you mean to say that Microsoft makes programs that aren't Excel? Why would they even consider doing such a thing, when they already have such an excellent program?excel does that too.
