TechBoss says he'll take over getting the client on board with a new
ORF version as the existing version doesn't support the new
mailserver AND an upgrade is not part of the project scope AND may
cost a few grand AND it's his screw up.

Did you send a reminder with a BCC to&BigBoss If not, why not?

Of course, but see the defaults of "TechBoss is 50% owner" and "deal with it."

Also, when it got handed back to me, it took less than an hour to find a no-cost solution from the same vendor and only another two to start implementing it - for which I no doubt will get my ass kicked because I waited to hear back from TechBoss and "it was an easy solution".

My next employer must meet these requirements:
* Listens to employees on technical matters or just doesn't ask for opinions
* Understands work-life balance does not mean Work is your Life
* Gives pats on the back when earned, and kicks in the ass when necessary
