WTF moments at work.

We all have them, so we might as well vent/share.

Re: WTF moments at work.

  • Ok, so I deal w/the public A LOT. I really don't mind it & most of the time could care less if they get pissy/upset. I just figure out how to help or get someone that can. Well on the other hand I cannot stand stupid people. They get under my skin & I lose it every time. So far this morning I've received calls w/customers saying, "I have a question. My dryer isn't working", "I have a question. My ice maker won't make ice."

    Really? Because how the hell do you see that as a question? It's a problem & you need service. Probably sounds pretty small & petty but wtf, people. It's not hard to comprehend a problem from a question.

  • I hate how my boss says he is going to have me take on additional responsibilities (which I am supposed to have been doing this entire time mind you). But he never gives them to me and I sit down with the big wig and of course he asks about it and I have to say that my boss hasn't given it to me to do. Boss says, I know you can handle it. Ugh!!

    Now that is really sad. It reminds me of the 30 Rock episode where Jack goes and works in DC and the didn't have pens either. Anyone watch that show?

  • LOL! Yeah, when I started my new job I had to buy about $90 in personal supplies... stapler, hole punches, pens, highlighters, tape, etc... because the budget was too tight to provide those things. They did give me a lovely paperclip holder with the union emblem on it though, lol!

    I've never seen it- sounds funny though!

  • We get those cheap bic pens and I would always keep a handful of them so when people ask to borrow pens i would just give them one of those. And I would keep my nice pretty pens that I bought myself hidden. Now I'm down to just one lowly bic pen and it's crap on my hands when have to write. So not only are they taking my things but they are going thru my stuff to get them. grrrr
  • After all the layoffs last year, the company decided to cut costs even more by getting rid of the complimentary coffee creamer and the earl grey tea bags they would provide. I get having to cut costs but just frustrating that if and when I drink coffee its only with creamer and if and when I drink tea its only early grey =X
