if you would define the job up front and ask for someone to take it on you
could then argue that they aren't doing it right. but when someone
volunteers to do something and creates the job, claiming that they re
doing it 'wrong' after the fact is insulting. the job is what he defined
it to be when he created it. if you want to define the job differently you
are welcome to do just that and start doing the different job (or hire
someone to do the job). if you are right then Greg's work will be
irrelavent and he can stop wasting his time. but unless you are willing to
step up you should not take the tone that you have taken. you can ask for
changes, explain why you think they are better, try and convince others,
but you cannot say that he must or that he has a responsibility to do it
your way.
