Conflict of interest

Is this what working is? Raising concerns but ultimately taking instructions when your boss wants to do something a certain way, and using your name to do it?

Frustrating.

It's not the way I would approach it. Maybe I'm just too perfectionistic. If I see a potential issue, I try to think of a solution to not let it be an issue.

I have to rely on someone else for the solution though. And you say there's only one of that person. Wow. There's also only one of me. What about the overhead I will face. If we don't have enough resources, it will be on me.

So this is work challenge huh. Balancing what your boss wants and what you want, but ultimately taking instructions to make sure your boss is happy. Great.

I do hope I can trust you to bear the responsibility. I think ultimately, that was my concern.

Bring it on, then.
