-:- Why I hate my job -:-


1. The phone rings none stop. I shit you not. I can log just how many calls I get in a day and that number is currently at 206 and I have only been here for 3 hours.

2. Out of those 206 phone calls I guess that 80% of them have no clue what voice mail is. And what I mean is they always pop back to me and ask the following questions.

-Is that person in the office?

-Is that person on the phone?

- Can I leave them a message with you?

What do I look like the office police? As if these people are chained to their desks and never leave. Voice mail is there for a reason, fucking pull your head out of your anal cavity and use it.

3. Another 5 % love to do this, as if it won't make me want to shove the phone up their ass. They get their voice mail, so they hang up and call again. Over and over. I have this lady that tried to make this her daily habit, unil I simply had to explain that if she doesn't leave a message that person will not call them back. And you calling none stop is not going to make the person your calling happy to talk to you! Stop stalking them. Find something else to work on and go on about your business until they find the time to call you back!

4. Another 5% loves to bounce back and demand these people get paged. Yes of course because you wanting to ask your husband, mother or father what they are doing is that fucking important. As if these people enjoy getting pulled out of a meeting or bathroom because YOU can't wait for them to call you back!

5. 1% of these people are the employees children. Summer really blows for this. First as an employee instruct your children that unless their head came off, or they are bleeding out their ears that you really don't need to hear from them 20 times a day. Hell just give them your direct line, so you will know what it is like to listen to screaming kids when you answer the phone. Hell I have kids and they don't call me unless something is wrong. So unless you want me to start parenting your children when they call in fighting and screaming, instruct them NOT to call or if you really want to hear from your spawn from hell have them call you direct!

6. Bill collectors calling line workers wanting to know when they will pay? Yea, I am going to pull a worker off the line just to take your call. Figure out how to handle your business when they are at home. I am not your fucking private voice mail system. I could care the fuck less if they don't make their payments.

7. None English speaking people. Don't you dare get pissed at me for not understanding your language. Last time I checked I live in America and my native language is ENGLISH!!

8. Oh look in the 10 minutes it took to type this up, I got another 30 phone calls. Gee and people wonder why I don't want to rush right home and get on the phone and talk to them..

Stay tuned, this is more to come in the "Why I hate my job" thread..
