I’ve been cranking out expense analyses this week. After I do the first review, I send it to the PM to make final determination on things flagged as questionable. The PM I normally send them to is out on PTO starting today thru next week, so I had to send this to his backup. Backup pings me for clarification on what he’s supposed to do. The following is our conversation:
PM: Does he just do a reasonableness check on it?
Me: I go through and flag things that are out of policy. He follows up with the resources who have OOP expenses.
PM: OK....perfect....does he break their legs. Do I get to break their legs?
Me: I’m in Chicago. I gotta guy...
PM: NO, I want to do it.
Me: Congrats. You’ve just been promoted to The Enforcer.
PM: I follow up as needed....it’s the old “help ME help YOU”.
