Then you just state repeatedly that this story is telling the exact opposite of what it set out to do by calling up your previous points and ignoring all the explanations.

You are a troll.

I’m sure that whereever you work your boss appreciates the fact that every 10 minutes you take a 5 minute bathroom break and then when they ask for an explanation you go apeshit on them yelling about people with all sorts of random diseases. If you have a “serious” issue like the ones you’re suggested it is also common protocal to let your employer (or HR) know. Otherwise, you risk complications with the fact that you’re never at your desk and always in the bathroom. It’s just common work etiquette, it’s so simple. And again with the reading comprehension, yet not a single person has ACCURATELY mentioned anything I misstated.

And actually one of the things that’s really been pissing me off about big corporations is getting transfered from department to department. I wish people like you Claire would get out of the crapper and do your jobs so I wouldn’t have to be on hold for 45 minutes every time I call.

So funny story, some people have IBS. Other people get diarrhea. Some women get pregnant and have to go to the bathroom often as they have a fetus kicking their bladder. Older people get “sudden urges” (true story, there are even COMMERCIALS ABOUT THIS CONDITION).

Just because you don’t have excrement issues doesn’t mean you get to be an asshole to anyone else. And shocker, if it’s not any of the boss’ fucking business, it sure isn’t yours.

You’re an asshole with an intense reading comprehension issue. Problem solved, everyone.

“And yes, actually it is highly unprofessional to put someone on hold to see if OP is available when she’s not. And then put them on hold again to see if someone else is there, and then again and again. It is more professional to know where your employees are when you’re in a work environment so that you can best assist customers.”

No. It’s not. Ask any person who has been put on hold for two seconds ever when getting transfered anywhere. You see, sometimes we even call big corporations with multiple departments like the one described in the original post where you would presume that all 500 employees with phones aren’t telling every other person with a phone line whether they’re at their desks. Cute straw argument though, moron.

As for the trolling I still don’t really understand. If I don’t comment saying “OMG OMG OMG THIS LIKE IS LIKE THE WORSTEST MOST HORRIBLE JOB EVER! OMG EVERYTHING U SAID WAS SOOOOOO TRUE YOU POOR BABY” then I’m a troll? Sheesh, get real!

“I arrived for my first day at 7:45 a.m. at a sprawling corporate complex and got very confused as to exactly where I was supposed to be, as no one had told me there were multiple buildings.”

She wasn’t told which building to report to, which lead to this…

“Finding my new supervisor at exactly 8 a.m., I was icily informed that “Eight a.m. means at your desk and working at 8am, not walking in the door at 8 a.m.”

She was not a crappy employee.

” Finding my new supervisor at exactly 8 a.m., I was icily informed that “Eight a.m. means at your desk and working at 8am, not walking in the door at 8 a.m.””

And yes, actually it is highly unprofessional to put someone on hold to see if OP is available when she’s not. And then put them on hold again to see if someone else is there, and then again and again. It is more professional to know where your employees are when you’re in a work environment so that you can best assist customers. Also, what day and age do we live in now that every trip to the bathroom constitutes an “emergency”? In the situation of a real emergency, I think that she would have been allowed to use the restroom.

She was a crappy employee and I called it like I saw it, not sure how that makes me a troll. However, I do appreciate the 5 trolls that took their time to call me one, that really helped contribute to the conversation.

hahahaha, was this intentional? Either way, this was awesome.
