NSOR I'm in trouble at work

So I had to cover switchboard yesterday for an hour before I left, and apparently I let through a bomb threat. Fabulous.

The whole office is buzzing and talking about me behind my back. I love today.

Any way the wind blows...

  • How would you have known it was a bomb threat?
    She's crafty - and she's just my type.

    Agreed...also, who has a switchboard anymore?  Do you mean you were covering for a receptionist?

    Exactly! I didn't know! I just transfer calls. So totally not my fault but it's ridiculous that I'm the butt of all the jokes today.

    Nope, we have a switchboard. We transfer calls all day long because we're Federal and we have a ton of people working in our building.

  • Switchboard aside, how would you have known it was a bomb threat?  Your coworkers sound like idiots.

    Absolutely. It's like a high school environment. Cliquey and gossipy. I'm over it. I already talked to my boss about it and she even said "How would you have known?" and now all these emails are going around about what to do in a bomb situation.

    I guess the bomb squad and the dogs came out yesterday.

    Better a threat than an actual attack.  I'm glad your boss seemed to be on your side.  Unless you have special training to recognize and deal with these situations, it's ridiculous for others to talk bad about you for this.  Don't worry, I'm sure someone else will do something for them to harp on on Monday :)

  • What if there really WAS a bomb, wouldn't they WANT the phone call to go through so they could, you know, do something about it?

    This is what I was thinking.  Sorry you're dealing with such HS mentality, OP.  

    *The only way to dream is big*
  • I know, right? Stupid.

  • That's bizarre. Were you just supposed to know it was a bomb threat and then hang up on the caller? We actually have instructions where I work on what to do with bomb threat calls.

    Yes, thank you for asking this.

    Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!
  • Maybe people are actually just buzzing and are NOT talking about you?

    Unfortunately they are talking about me because I was asked by about 10 different people if I was the one who let the bomb scare go through. Lame. Oh well. At least it's exciting today. Ha.
