Rant
My company is a relatively small startup, the founder is “self taught” about the field, yesterday i needed to explain to him for over half an hour why do i have QC steps in the procedures, I don't think he got it, i think i just got tired of me repeating the basics he doesn't know. And told me he didn't thing that these QC steps are important (I have a PhD, basically a ten year education in the field).
We are severely understaffed, we are three people doing the work of at least nine. And I'm currently working on six projects, two days ago he decided the change priority of all works to a completely different project. That requires materials we haven't used and over a year, and he is getting mad at me that it's taking so long to QC the materials, and why haven't i haven't ordered the ones that haven't passed QC earlier (I've been running QC in the last two days, i go some QC results yesterday, and ordered them yesterday), and why can't i use them today (because i only ordered them yesterday).
And he says to just throw everything away and order new, which is only a few thousands dollars (after he cancelled an order fo 200$ last month that i needed because it's too expensive). And he doesn't want to hear about materials that don't work, what does he want me to do, lie to him?
Irrational behaviour.
