Wow my job sucks right now. Un fuckin believable.
I got hired a month ago as a programmer. Everything went fine at first, then my Boss asked if I could do 3D modeling, and I could, I used Maya for 4 years, but I told him I only can do simple low poly models. A partner company of ours needed some help in their 3D department and I had to help.
Well, I thought, a small 3D project from time to time would be nice and refreshing, especially since it was very easy geometry, my Boss even showed me some previous projects and That was totally doable even for me.

So i started out making the first few models in blender, because we dont have anything else. After a day of getting used to blender i sent off the first models and it all began.

They wanted detailed, high poly models of some mechanical parts, my Boss originally told me it was just an abstract visualisation... fuck me...

Well I agreed to it so had to do it. The partnering Company started to change things, seemingly at random. Had a model completely modelled, textured and animated, now they want to change the model so I have to redo the UVs, the texture and the Animation god fucking damnit.

But still I thought ok, its only for a bit. Now my boss accepted even more work. Because of endless reworks I couldnt finish even one model and have to already make the new ones.

Now my boss is pissed because that company is pissed that i cant know what they want.

Big pile of misscommunication.
I hope this is over soon but I overheard that more is coming...

    Your boss is incompetent if he's assigning work you've told him you can't do. If you have told him that you cannot do the work it's on him, and you should either get new work or a new job.

    If however you have not clearly stated that this work is not for you, then you need to tell him clearly and firmly.

    @stevemk14ebr well, my boss told me what to do and that was definitively doable. But then it turned out that what my boss told me was completely wrong. Classic misscommunication

    @ViktorZin you should tell him exactly that

    @stevemk14ebr I did. Still working on the project though.

    Sounds like you just made a career change to 3D modeler

    @jeeper fuck no.
    3d is an awesome hobby but i cant work in it under pressure.
    It just sucks the life out of me.
    Programming doesnt do that.
