Company was bought out. Went from a small company to a larger corporation.
My job title went from everything to Inventory. All the workers learned to come to me for help. New-ish person has a job over these guys. The guys still contact me when they have issues. I explain everything to everyone involved so they know what’s going on
New-ish person gets upset and now there’s a big deal about them going outside the chain of command. I get informally reprimanded.
Ok, now my default answer is “I don’t know”. Guys are asking me, and I say “ask so-and-so”.
“But so-and-so” never answers or tells us to call you.”
“Not my job. Call them.” I’m waiting to see how this pans out. Day 1 has been “interesting” to say the least.
Update. Today was asked:
(question 1) “did customer A approve the job?” My reply: “I don’t know.” (I had assumed so since we’re doing the work). We charged 1/4 of what was estimated.
(Question 2). “Did customer B pay his bill?” My response “I don’t know, you’ll have to ask X”.
I will give more details after a little while. I told the guys that so-and-so has to fail spectacularly.
