One of my cow-orkers keeps acting like he can dictate what I do. We report to the same supervisor, and work on separate projects, although my projet is a data source for his. But today we had a meeting about data formats and such, and he starts handing out tasks to me. And it's a task that makes his life easier at a cost to my usability.
THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.
I do not work for him, and he knows this. So I fire off an email to our common boss to outline that of the 3 items in the email, one is already in progress, one is clearly a bug that we will be addressing, and the third is a new *request*, and one that has ramifications to prospective other clients of our system.
I am pissed off that I had to do that. This is not a case where there is a real vacuum in the structure. And it comes from a guy who was all over our not sending as much data as we claimed we were, until he realized he had forgotten the multiple messages in a payload that we all had to deal with.
