There is no cost to upgrade it; they sent me a guide to download and install the software. The employee who must use this machine to do his work said he will call my boss and tell him directly. If my boss still refuses, he said he will call the VP, who is my boss’s superior. This employee has been with the company for a very long time, so it shouldn’t be a big deal. Should I still send the email?
For the love of god do not go above your bosses head to do something he told you to drop unless you want to be unemployed. Send the CYA email but be aware if that VP pressures the boss to do your idea you better hope he doesn’t say it’s because of you they’re forcing this. You’re green and want to do well, I get it, but you need to accept that sometimes you just need to do as your boss says even if it isn’t the best.
