I got my ass handed to me on a plate today at work.
I knew it was coming but my pride is now a little dented as my work was trashed in a meeting of reasonably senior guys. I needed to submit my work to meet a deadline, not for myself but in order to keep a project going as we are going through a very disorganised planning process. Part of the information we got from our client's various reps, part of the information we'd been waiting for 6 weeks for and had to force a meeting to get the info we needed.
So it turns out that a big part of the info we were provided by the client's rep(s) is wrong which is what I based my work on and that's the part I was trashed on. On going through the detail it turns out that what I did myself was fine but I couldn't push the point too hard for fear of annoying the client too much so I had to shut my mouth and suck it up. Not to mention the politics that's in play with these guys atm makes this a bit of a minefield for us.
I think the thing that annoyies me most is I could have come across a bit better. Ah well, the joys of being a subcontractor...
