Work Questions

I find it annoying when someone, normally a client, will ask me a question they should not be asking me because it is more business related than it is related to my duties or something I can actually answer. Then apparently it is wrong for me to just reply with, "I don't know." or "I am not an accountant, go ask an accountant." Plus it really doesn't help when I don't have a business analyst to forward or ask these questions that I am not qualified to answer. As much as I like accounting, I dislike being held accountable for questions I shouldn't be held accountable for.

I am a programmer, when I don't have the initial specs for something, I can't answer questions about something I didn't design. The best I can do is reverse engineer it and do my best to explain what I found with a disclaimer.

I just wish people were a little more considerate when it came to these things.
