Not critiquing, just an observation. If we can see a trend, the CPO 1000% sees it. He's had a shockingly large number of crazy things happen to him here that seem to always be the companies fault.
How is a 2x windshear go around company's fault? It's weather, it happens, and it's why we train for it.
Now some things, like denying my wife's medication that's in the formulary, after we won on an appeal, just because they can? That I do fully blame our company for.
Making me wait a month for surgical approval because my shoulder isn't broken bad enough for some non MDs opinion? Yep. That's either what the company told them to do, or acceptable behavior from a company selected contractor.
Me complaining about pay being wrong? Yeah. That's the company.
Me not knowing that an ACP is over me in the food chain? My fault.
I was not aware of that being the case, even though the company publication where it is so delineated is accessible to me. And a lot of others are not aware of it either, including guys who have been here 20+ years. That's why I tell people. So many people are not aware of that.
I post the things that happen so that others can learn. Do I do everything right? Hell no. there is a lot of stuff that I could have done better, or handled better either at the time or afterwards. I'm not perfect. And I screw things up. I post what happened so others may learn what happened, how to avoid it or how to handle it better if unavoidable.
