Someone please explain

Please, I will go so far as to beg here. Please tell me how a Marcom department who has more resources than almost all other Marcom departments put together (yet doesn't bring in as much revenue) has no time to do anything.

Tell me how our department who is currently down TWO positions, how I am now magically in charge of thirty thousand different things am supposed to put my time aside to do YOUR JOB.

Guess what buddy, when you receive a promotion and accept, not only is it usually more money but MORE responsibility. If you can't handle it then don't accept the promotion.

I am going to freak out on someone today.

I have no idea what she just said, but I'm planning on staying out of her way on this one. I suggest you all do the same and just respond by nodding your head and saying "Yeah....you tell them!".

Sarah, I too work with loser deadbeat ahole coworkers who pass off their work duties onto others (me). When s/he dumps their stuff on me, I give them the bobblehead (nod and smile) and I say "Sure, I can do that for you AFTER I do: (I list my 500 things to do today)" and then I sum it up "So, if you can wait until the middle or the end of next week then I can help you out."

But Sarah...if it's my boss...then sadly, I do the bobblehead and do the work.

This rant was all from just an email trail...then we spoke on the phone.

Not only did I develope something to help them out, then after his complaining of the small amount of work he would have to do because of this, I called again suggesting something else to help him out and he, towards the end of the conversation said:
"Well I guess we'll get someone else to do it since you obviously don't care enough to...

Who here agree's he's lucky to still be alive??

I calmly, don't ask me how said:
Person, I refuse to have this conversation with you if you are going to just put words in my mouth. I hope you have a great day.

Well I'm not mad at you silly! btw I was just head hunted by Harley Davidson, cool eh?

mulderjoe said...

wow...that's so cool. i always get pinged by headhunters who offer job descriptions so boring that even IANO would have a difficult time making fun of them.

Sarah said...

Well the job description was like 2 pages long but I am an energetic person who enjoys boring/nerdy work.
