Why are some people such prima donas that they can't take responsibility for their own actions??? Why do they feel the need to blame me for something that is NOT MY FAULT or MY RESPONSIBILITY???
One of my co-workers is trying to blame me for his personal tax return being late now. His accountant called yesterday and told him they'd be dropping off his tax return here at the office. His assistant gave him this message and he freely admits to remembering having gotten said message. The accountant dropped off the taxes with me yesterday, sometime in the midst of the craziness of the last day of tax season. I put the envelope in his mail box, per procedure, just like I always put all their stuff in all their mail boxes, regardless of delivery method.
He didn't check his mail box AT ALL yesterday. Or the day before for that matter. Yet now it's my fault that his taxes are going to filed late, since he just found them in his mailbox today. He tried to say I should have called him since they hand delivered them. I'm sorry, but, not my job! I was SO pissed that it made me cry. But all is well. My office manager has my back. He told me that he'll tell this co-worker in a few days what his decision on the matter is. There is no way the office (aka me) will be paying the late filing penalty for his mistake. His taxes are HIS responsibility to make sure they are filed on time, regardless of what anybody else does with them. The accountant isn't responsible, this office sure isn't responsible, and it sure as HELL isn't my responsibility.
Okay, vent over.
