But I've also been in situations where the response of a tech approached by another tech is "You're not my boss, and anyway I'm too busy, go away!". At that point your manager needs to talk to his manager to get the work you need. (I'm not saying that's the way it should be, but sometimes it is). | |

It was not just a matter of manager time. Often, people with similar expertise in different departments can communicate better without filtering through their managers. | |

As a manager who is frequently extremely busy I place a high value on employees who are self driven to the point of being able to get the things they need to complete their tasks. This way of approaching me would rate highly in my estimation of them. | |
