Greenhorn

OK, here we go. What I consider my first official RANT! My job is not really that crucial. I don't save lives, run governments, or control the economic structure of the world. But I feel I'm pretty good at what I do and I've been doing the same thing for 25 years now. Might not make me an expert, but I feel more qualified than most. Well, we did our job to the best of our ability (which is pretty darn spectacular I might add), and we had somebody who was given a certain amount of authority, make a judgment call concerning our job. Prior to starting the job, I discussed it with the person I work with (who has another 11 years experience) on how to approach it. We came to a conclusion and proceeded from start to finish. Two other people were also notified of our plan of action, and reasoned that our plan was the best way possible. When this young "professional" was informed of our decision, he had to see it for himself and critique what was done. Since he gets to wear the big boy pants, he decided we need to change a critical part of the design. So, let's throw experience, reason, aesthetics, and the majority approval out the window and do it my way, says the team of one. Now we have to undo a perfectly good, acceptable job, and redo it the WRONG way. Here's what's going to be funny. When the client sees it for the first time, they're going to ask why the design isn't balanced? We'll have to tell them the boss didn't want it that way:) Funny thing is, we're being paid for the first time, we're going to be compensated for the "new and improved" way, and I am guessing we'll be paid to change it back to the correct way. I really shouldn't complain. It's jackasses like him that make the rest of us look good and keep us in business. (So mad I almost spilled my beer).
