A few hours ago, I was talking to guy at Disney+ customer service on their chat service. I wanted to ask him when the remaining nine episodes of the 21st season of Family Guy would be available here in Sweden. From the start, he was polite to the extreme (which I'm used to when it come to Americans and customer service), but it developed into avoiding a conflict, where he repeatedly thanked me for not being mad at him (and sometimes saying he was hoping I wouldn't get mad). He also thanked me for being nice to him. After a while, I asked him if it was out of the ordinary for people to behave in a civil manner. I praised him on his outstanding service (he answered my questions to the best of his ability and the answers were none of his fault, nor was it in his power…

LSS: Masturbater with pregnancy fetish cause whole staff to quit. This is in 1990. I was managing a video store with adult videos. I was pregnant , about 8 months along and a customer came up with a ” lactation ” themed porn. As I checked him out and he started rubbing himself against the front of the counter, gyrating quite noticeably. I stopped the transaction, took his card, ordered him out, froze his account with an explanation. Next weekend I saw him back in the store, I ordered him out, and he told me to call the owner because He had said he could come back. I called the owner, who confirmed he was giving the guy a second chance because he was the son of a good friend and he had ” talked to him”. I went back to the office and let a male employee take care…

Not sure if this is truly anti-work but I’m going to share here regardless. Let me set the stage. My dad has been in the hospital due to a sudden, onset, scary medical condition. Thankfully he should make a full recovery, but I was at the hospital until 8pm last night. For work, I’m based on the west coast of the United States at a large engineering company. I was working with a colleague in Dubai on an issue literally 3 full months ago, and I thought nothing would come of it. Yesterday (Tuesday) my colleague emails me back saying the customer wants to talk more, and asks if Thursday morning at 6am would be okay to chat. I agreed, I knew it had to be early because of the time difference. At 8pm last night when I was exhausted leaving the hospital, he apparently set up the call for…

Constantly in my office computer tasks are pawned off by the leadership team to the lowest paid young guys. Apparently “not growing up with technology” is a valid excuse to be wholly incompetent at your job. Just today (my day off) I was asked by the administrative assistant to remove the password from a protected PDF. This type of work isn’t my job, I am hired to do construction labor. I kindly sent her a link to a tutorial on how to remove a password from a document. Minutes later she calls me insisting that I take the password off and calling me insubordinate. Handling PDFs / administration is not in my job description. I still haven’t done it. It shouldn’t take 5 emails to take a password off of a PDF. There are super computers capable of this task in front of you and in your pocket, but you…
