AMEN and how very well written and ever so true! I *hate* that passive aggressive nonsense! I hate it when someone tries to push me over because they don’t want to do their job. I think it’s because so many people don’t take the time…for a variety of reasons…to address problems. They are afraid of confrontation, they won’t make the time, they lack the knowledge or experience, they are frightened, they are LAZY…the list is, almost, endless. Yet, those very people are the ones who complain the loudest!
Our phone lines were down for more than two weeks and all the neighbors complained. When they complained to me, I said, “Didn’t you call the phone company? Didn’t you get a credit for the inconvenience AND for the days your phone was out of order? My credit was almost $100.” They look at me blankly. “Why did YOU get a credit?” and I tell them, “Because I asked.” Yes, it did take many, many phone calls (which meant going to town, a trip of more than 30 round trip miles) AND letters to the State Corporation Commission but…the phone company was made to do what they promised…Provide service OR compensate me for lack thereof.
Do you think the neighbors went back and called the phone company? Nope! But they continued to complain!
Oh goodness…don’t even get me started on that manure about “team player” and “we’re a family”. No, we aren’t…for which I thank God.
Now, Ms/Mr Employee, get out of my face, do your job and be grateful you’ve got a job. And while you’re at it, you may call me Mrs. B.
Great article, Carolyn…well done!
