so of course the first competent receptionist we've had in 6 years decided to leave to become a professional EMT. her last day is tomorrow (which makes me sad because i can't get in tomorrow but i didn't know it until today so i didn't get a chance to say goodbye
she gave notice last week. they posted the job in the paper and on craigslist.
i'm betting they don't hire someone permanent until the end of april. in the meantime, guess who gets to do all of her work? i've actually already addressed it and told them that i will not be doing all of her work and the butt-scratcher in the back can spend some of his "supposed to be working in the warehouse but is instead hiding in his office bidding on star-wars stuff on ebay" time by making a couple of f*cking phone calls.
we'll see how long that lasts.
Re: anyone want to take bets on how long this will take?
I'm constantly amazed at how hard it is to find someone who can answer a phone and take a message without completelyfucking it up.
I sort of feel your pain. One of my inside sales reps is leaving in a few weeks to be promoted to my position at another site, and not only do I get to train her during my busiest week of the month, but I also have to work several of her shifts, including one of her weekends, until we hire a replacement. And then I get to train her replacement. And I get nada for it.
NOT.PLEASED.
