Strung

I'm in a sort of weird place right now. A lot of things/people are pissing me off. I'm letting a lot of things bother me. I have noticed that when I'm happy in general, I don't let those things bother me as much. But as of right now, everything irritates the bajesus out of me.

Some of this crap is actually well warranted... If I see a service order closed out listing the work we have performed on it, with the product sitting in the pickup section, should I not assume that we fixed it and it's ready to go? Apparently not.... Tell me, how in the fuck am I suppose to know, other then the power supply, the motherboard is also fried? Any reasonable human being would think that it was fixed and I don't have to second guess the work on it. I'm so sick of this crap.

I'm so sick of this whole short-sighted shit. What's more important? Customer loyalty or squeezing as much as we can get to the point they get pissed off? We might be doing great now, but what's going to happen down the line? It's a reputation thing. You leaving is your own fucking business, don't drag me down with you.

learning some leadership and customer service skills wouldn't hurt either. And how about some training on tools and enforcing procedures. Oh and well defined tasks. For some odd reason I was also expecting some good note taking and reasoning skills.... I guess it's not to be.

  1. Patricia,

    Greetings from Accounting class. Thanks for fixing my algebra. =)

    On to my comment:

    Sometimes it feels like we don't have much of a choice at all when I comes to controlling anger. Personally, I'm pretty guilty of letting it take control.

    IMO, your situation justifies some degree of frustration. While I try to keep my memories positive, there certainly were a lot of customer service issues back when I did sales @ CompUSA.

    Hang in there. The good news is that what you're dealing with isn't forever. My .02... expect things to suck, but keep your hopes high. When you find the right time, voice your concerns calmly but sternly.

    But alas, you already know this.

    Take care.
