Well after writing my previous post on the whole not getting to do my rails project fiasco, I decided to send my boss an email expressing my concerns and basically let him know that I think he’s making a mistake. Here’s a little sample:
“From a personal perspective I feel a little disappointed in the decision as not only is it a bad idea for the job, it basically mean that my hard work in planning this project is going to be handed over to a team which I know from first hand experience isn’t capable of delivering 100%
I have made my feelings towards my role in the company very clear, I would like to take some of the programming work away from [other company] to help impact produce better solutions for our clients. I feel that this was an ideal opportunity to prove this, prove my work and install confidence in the technology with my bosses.”
That’s me with my big-boy hat on, no swearing, no rudeness. I take on another persona…
This must have paid off because on the friday my boss takes me to one of the meeting rooms to talk through the project, he opens with “I’ve made an executive decision, we’re doing it in house…”
I was so relieved, I think I must have been really into the job to care that much about it, I was really upset over it, it sounds silly but I take a great amount of pride in planning a job from start to finish, especially if at the end of it I know i’ve done my very best, and the job has been a success. If these other guys had done it, well lets not go there.
So there it is, I get to do it in rails after all, I’m really happy, i’ll be sure to post my progress as I go.
