Getting scolded about shit that does not pertain to you in a work meeting.
I hate this shit so much. It's just admin not doing their job. I bet you all know who the call-in abuser is. I bet this person is either completely unaware that it's them that is being talked about OR they know it but aren't ever going to stop as long as they can pretend the boss is talking about someone else.
I get this shit too, but at least it's just with e-mails.
I get the e-mails too; 99% of the time, it's due to one person (with everyone else knowing who it is) doing something and nobody wanting to confront them in person about it because they see such a dialogue as a personal attack. I'm also convinced a recent email might have been about me doing something I had no idea I even did because the sender didn't have the fortitude to talk to me about it first if it was in fact me. If we're truly supposed to be reasonable adults, why can't we settle this stuff like adults and not use vague emails implying future consequences as the first knee jerk response? And people wonder why I take the time to privately document some of what I do just to cover my ass.
I have a sorta-similar problem where, despite me following procedure, something I was not informed of or trained on goes wrong, and I catch shit for it.
I once had a boss who didn't tell me I was supposed to be wearing collared shirts until I had been there eight months and then acted as if I somehow knew that small detail without being told and after I had bought some nice shirts without a dress collar and wore them in the ensuing months.
At another workplace, the boss gave me a job description stating I had to complete a certain weekly task by a certain day/time - which was totally reasonable. What wasn't, however, was her taking my unfinished work away from me 2-3 hours before the agreed-upon deadline while I was at lunch and writing me up for failing to meet the deadline and not doing my job correctly. I submitted my resignation the next day. This is also the same boss who complained to me about body odor and poor hygiene when the BO came from a Jeet staffer who didn't know what soap was and stunk up my workspace when he had to send an outgoing fax.
Wanting to look up obscure subject X online only to find that a popular, shitty band has named itself X so the first five google pages are filled with references to this band and contain nothing about the original subject that you wanted to study.
Recently, an acquaintance and I were talking about a mutual interest. He's been curious about a historical item, but he cant do any internet research on it because the term in question was referenced by a modern-day TV show or series and all the internet results return pages relating to the show and not the historical item.
The fucking retard civil planners decided to start construction, in fucking September, on both the only road out of the town I commute through but also the road that leads from the highway to the road I live on.
At present, a signed detour for a route under major reconstruction for the next year now has construction on it and the same detour is closed for a few blocks in one direction for unknown reasons.
I've experienced so many construction delays and detours in the past year, I half expect to wake up one morning and find the road commission attempting to lay asphalt in my bedroom.
Fucking undocumented janitors at hospitals lazily cleaning the floor with some shitty rags and then immediately using the same filthy rag to wipe the walls and everything else. It's a miracle I didn't catch some nasty infection when I had to get surgery last year, even in my room they tried to pull the same nasty shit.
Growing up, parent pie made the decision to never go to a local restaurant ever again after witnessing a bus boy wipe his brow with a rag and then proceed to use it to wipe down a table the last time we ever ate there.
I love my parents but they nagged me because I didn't know basic home skills because they never thought it. It is this weird problem where older generations don't teach their kids and then expect the kids to become self thought when it comes to basic life skills.
I wonder if this really is a generational thing because my parents never taught me basic home skills even when they had plenty of opportunities over time to do so. It ground my gears when they'd tell others about my lack of home skills with the implication I was lazy around the house when they never took the time to teach me and instead left me to figure them out on my own and through trial and error.
