Every single accountant I have worked with in my career has had a chip on their shoulder and/or an age to grind. As far as I can tell, all they really care about is balancing the books. If the books are not balanced, THEY LOSE THEIR MINDS. They don't care how they get there.. they just have to get there one way or the other.
Right now I'm dealing with the most challenging one yet. Interestingly I told the GM of the company that she needs to be fired when he first started. He thought I was crazy and he said she can be worked with.
A few months later and he says he wants to fire her ASAP.
That's just one example. The overall theme is they are making assumptions, base budgets off these assumptions, and when reality hits because of forces of nature.. it turns into a shitshow. The other side of it is every single one I've met knows how to play tricks with numbers.. such as creating some muddiness in how money is being spent. Every single one.
So this message goes out to all my accounting sherbros
