Hobbit Hole XIII: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1170490/posts |

It's unbelievable to me how anyone could think that yelling at and/or disparaging their employees is going to be productive, but it's all too often the case.
I've got a few clients that feel they need to list out all of their educational degrees and achievements when they speak to me so that I recognize they are intellectually superior. Yeah, ok, whatever.
I keep saying to myself that with all of the combined talents in the Hobbit Hole, we could start a business of our own, if only we could figure out what that business would be! I'm sure we'd have great benefits...besides working together, of course! :-)
And and this....
And then, like a cherry on top of the rotten, glass shard-filled ball of yuck-flavored ice cream that was my day,
Pure poetry!!
Yahknow... that guy reeks of bottomfeeder.
He's probably gotten yelled at by his boss for not meeting some target for the training session, and he's forgotten that he's supposed to be an arrow-catcher, not an archer.
We could become an outsource for automated TPS reports! Everybody hates doing TPS reports.
He's been in India for about a year, but he was a manager here before that. Apparently, this is his catch phrase, and he uses it with everyone who's complained about this schedure change.
I agree, Wn. This was not "coming correct" to an employee, no matter the ages of the people involved.
I took this job 'cause we needed money, and I'm good at tech support. But I was cleaning up my résumé the other day, after the man asked me the question I couldn't answer; and, you know, there are other things I can do.
Including you.
Eureka!! TPS reports, faulty fax machines and plenty of Hawaiian shirt days, which would be purely optional of course. ;-)
It's like I keep telling my staff... they keep using the wrong cover sheets on their TPS reports. They keep using the old cover sheet when the memo on the new cover sheets has been out since last week!
Yeah,... oh... and I'm gonna need you to go ahead and come in on Saturday, m'kay?
When I leave, I will, perhaps, suggest he find a different, less offensive catch-phrase ...
They prolly talk to folks like that over there and get by with it. But, we know the turnover rates there too.

There are plenty of other things you can do. Ya know, it never occurred to me that I could teach until I looked for jobs!
Yeah, and I guess you're gonna need me to come in on Sunday too? Riiiiight.
I'll wear plenty of flare. Wouldn't want it to look like I'm just doing the bare minimum or anything.
hehehe... when you leave, you can tell him that *he's* got some growing up to do.
Whoops. Gotta go. Meeting with the Bobs in five.
Good call. I would suggest that to *his* supervisor.
Why does it say paper jam? Mildly naughty language!
You've been missing a lot of work lately.
Prolly quit when he saw the detail work on the tattoos.
LMAO! Thanks, Bear. I ~really~ needed that wav today!
