I am what has been dubbed a "Data Architect/Administrator" where I work. My job is sort of like a morph between a programmer, data analyst, statistician, systems analyst, and report guy. No similar job has ever existed at this place of business (if you want to call it that) before I started working there in 2003.
Due to the nature of my job, I am constantly building and serving reports for decision and executive support. Because of this, all the clerks who enter data and are responsible for transactions management are suddenly getting railed on by management for doing it wrong for so many years. They were told to basically fix it and keep it right or find a new job. Strangly the same week as this meeting I have a huge key mark down the side of my car. Earlier this year after a similar meeting I had a huge dent/paint chip in the door of my car, and even earlier last year somebody hit my car in the parking lot and left without leaving a note (big suprise).
My question is: does anybody else have coworkers who seem to take issues in the workplace personally to the point that they feel the need to inflict damage such as this? If so, how do you deal with it???
I am scared to buy a new car while I work there, who knows what might happen. I fear my poor 1996 S-10 is on it's last legs and I would hate to have to replace it with a junker just so I don't have to worry about it all day
