Continuing to believe that they havent gotten an answer because they havent gotten an answer they like is why some people never get anywhere.
So then if you were to bring up two conflicting orders from your boss, say to purchase 20 new printers [with some minimum set of requirements] AND to keep the price below a certain limit, because there doesn't exist any printer with those requirements with a low enough cost that you can buy 20 of them and getting a "Fuck Off!" when requesting clarification on which requirement should be relaxed is reasonable? That such a response is "an answer"?
Or would you insist that your problem be heard?
“...if you were to bring up two conflicting orders from your boss..”
Pretty much every Tuesday.
That kind of response would indeed be an answer. I can either work with it or find another job.
