I hate people who try and force you to do things.
Edited on Fri Apr-08-05 01:55 AM by texas1928
I had a Phone rep try and tell me to do something "NOW!" tonight. He actually wrote now in big letters in the e-mail. Needless to say, I am over him and his bosses, and he had his little world ruined. I forwarded his e-mail to his immediate bosses, the manager of his department, and my boss. I got a response from the manager of the department(a friend of mine), he said the rep is being educated right now about e-mail edict, and just where he stands in the pecking order.

I guess it is bad I found that so fulfilling but I did. I hate people who think they are more important than others.


On Edit: The problem he wanted me to fix NOW, was not something that I could fix NOW or ever.

5. Well isn't he special?
:eyes:

Someone I work with, when he gets e-mails like that -- just responds 'thank you' and then does nothing about it. He says eventually the a-holes get fed up and just leave him alone.

Edited on Fri Apr-08-05 11:46 AM by Aiptasia
Good. I'm convinced what the world needs is to dress down more imbiciles.

11. GOOD FOR YOU! I don't think it's bad that you found it so
fulfilling! It's bad when we can't enjoy the things we have to do, lol! Finally you have some control over stuff..How great is that? In this day, it's rare indeed. Enjoy it while you've got it, I say!
