Angst I
|

I know it's uncharacteristic of me, but I'm about to bitch and gripe!
A series of seemingly unrelated events that all tie together in the end
I called in to work June 25th to say I wouldn't be in that day, and wanted to move a vacation day. As I was turning up the volume on my cell phone the call dropped, and I sent an e-mail from home saying, "Sorry about that." The next day a vacation day was moved to cover the day I was out.
About a month ago I got a 60% score on a call. They said I hadn't advised a customer about the early termination fee. I pointed out that wasn't in the script we go by. We listened to the call. I did tell them about the early termination fee, so I was covered either way. My supervisor said she would see about getting that removed. Two weeks went by, nothing changed. I sent an e-mail inquiring what happened. No reply. Two more weeks went by. By then the 60% had scrolled off the page and nothing had ever been done.
They sent around an e-mail saying, "If you have questions about FEMLA or STD, please send your questions to Debbie." Debbie was my old supervisor. I found it quite funny I should talk to Debbie about "STDs."
Storm clouds gather on a dark and moonless night
Thursday Debbie, who is now in charge of attendance, forwarded me an e-mail with a note from her, "I thought I taught you better!" Below was a note from some attendance watchers saying, "Art was No Call/No Show on June 25th." I wrote back to say that I had moved a vacation day, and could also forward an e-mail showing I had called, too. I find it very irritating I'm treated as though I'm some dumbfuck with a drinking problem who randomly skips work and has a petty criminal history.
In the interests of humor, I sent another note saying, "By the way they sent this note around the other day saying we should consult with you about STD's. Are you a RN now? Will my visit be confidential?"
Debbie didn't get my joke. She wrote back, "No. Do you really need a consultation? Just don't give any medical details."
I said, "No, no! I'm in fine health. Do you really handle STD's? I mean the Dr. Ruth kind."
She wrote back, "Short Term Disability."
"Oh. Some of us got a chuckle out of that. I guess we're immature. :)"
I'll do this in installments, like an old 1940's movie serial. Won't that be fascinating? |

1) FEMLA and STD
2) Idiots that can't score a call right even with fucking written guidelines
3) Other idiots incapable of keeping track of attendance
I hope it ends with you mooning the entire management team in a boardroom and telling them to kiss your ass, whereupon they hand you a severance check for $50,000.
