Even better. The office manager is getting copies of everything, and she's not happy with this particular engineer or his pet designer who can do no wrong despite the hours I waste fixing his non-standard crap.
The first reasonable offer and I'm gone. Two week notice? They'll be lucky to get a two minute warning.
Been there with that shit. "Engineers" who intentionally leave things off drawings so that they have job security, and when they leave it's a scramble to clean up after them, when the equipment is being built. Nothing like redlining man-rated Mechanical Ground Support Equipment on the fly, when it has to have Safety Engineering approval before the original drawing is released. "Engineers" who modify Ground Support Equipment with no documentation. "Engineers" who "design" a test setup with exactly zero in the way of a Failure Modes and Effects Analysis, and yet are able to shift the blame to another organization, because someone in management likes them. I could continue, but you know the story. I know one guy who fits ALL these criteria, plus being a complete asshole to his fellow employees...and still has a job, because someone in management likes him.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
