Today, i reach a milestone as a still relatively new employee...I have to "put my foot down firmly" w/my boss. He placed me in charge of an event to which HE committed before I even came on board. The event has DISASTER/HUMILIATION written All Over It due to poor planning, no event specifications in writing...and not even any firm commitment for payment from the person we would be hosting the event for. I'm a dedicated employee, but i'm not interested in suicide missions.
At the same time, I'm still new and lord I need this job. I think I have my boss's respect and I feel that I've done a good job so far...but I'm still scared....wish me luck today.
