I work for a forestry consulting company. The crew put boundary where it shouldn’t have been because nobody had identified a particular new no-go zone along the way.
This wasn’t necessarily my fault, it should of been identified by several people along the way before me (including my boss) who should of done their due diligence, but I’m the one that found it after the crew had put the boundary there in the field.
My boss was loudly proclaiming in the office about how much money they are going to lose because they lost the day of work and how it will come out of my pay check. He meant it as a joke but as someone who lives pay check to pay check, it’s not funny.
I think he noticed my feelings were hurt because he tried to lighten it up more but it was still cruel and unfunny and not appropriate for a boss to say.
